Translated from the French language.
In the aftermath of the French Revolution, advocates of protection against foreign
competition prevailed in a fierce controversy over international trade. This groundbreaking
study is the first to examine this 'protectionist turn' in full. Faced with a reaffirmation
of mercantile jealousy under the Bourbon Restoration, Benjamin Constant, Jean-Baptiste
Say and regional publicists advocated the adoption of the liberty of commerce in order
to consolidate the new liberal order. But after the Revolution of 1830 a new generation
of liberal thinkers endeavoured to reconcile the jealousy of trade with the discourse
of commercial society and political liberty. New justifications for protection oscillated
between an industrialist reinvention of jealousy and an aspiration to self-sufficiency
as a means of attenuating the rise of urban pauperism. A strident denunciation of
British power and social imbalances served to defuse the internal tensions of the
protectionist discourse and facilitated its dissemination across the French political
spectrum
