Commentary on Filangieri’s Work
- Benjamin Constant (author)
- Alan S. Kahan (translator)
The Commentary is Constant’s most extensive treatment of economic matters. It is a response to a multi-volume work by the Italian jurist Gaetano Filangiero, The Science of Legislation (1780-88). Constant defends limited government and a policy of laissez-faire.
