From Criticism to the Reform Plan for the Teaching of Political Economy in France in the xixth Century
摘要
Walras thus explains the deplorable state of the teaching of economics by the deliberate behaviour of the dominant bourgeois class, which saw its fortune grow through the protection of the State and customs barriers. He distinguishes two stages in the attitude of this class. In the first phase, political economy has no place, then is barely tolerated; in the second phase, it becomes, on the contrary, a mere instrument in the hands of the bourgeois class, which controls all available chairs.
