Abstract: Since mercantilism often has been re-formulated, it seems necessary to examine the earliest French constructions—i.e., Quesnay's système des marchands, Mirabeau's système d'intérêt exclusif and Turgot's système de monopole—which have not been analysed as extensively as Smith's mercantile system. We demonstrate that these systems differ greatly in all three cases, as do the intellectual references associated with mercantilism and the issue that gives rise to the appearance of the mercantile system.
