Chapter Chapter 2 in Political Economy in the Habsburg Monarchy 1750–1774, 2020, pp 23-63 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter first provides background on the long aristocratic history of the Zinzendorf family and explores the relationship between Ludwig Zinzendorf and State Chancellor Wenzel Kaunitz. It then shows how Zinzendorf became a protégé of Kaunitz and in 1750 joined his ambassadorial mission to France as an economic expert. It discusses Zinzendorf’s commercial travels in Brittany and his assessment of the French trading company and navy. The chapter also examines Zinzendorf’s most important output during his stay in France in which he offered to Kaunitz and the Habsburg rulers a comparative account of the French and English economies and state finances.
