During the War of Spanish Succession, Louis XIV’s armies fought major military campaigns in the Low Countries, Northern Italy, the Empire and Spain.

The French Nobility in the Eighteenth Century
Emulation in Eighteenth-Century French Economic Thought
It has been twenty-five years since the appearance of Albert Hirschman's The Passions and the Interests, a seminal analysis of the Enlightenment social and economic imaginary. 1 Hirschman argued that moralists who believed the passions might be kept in check by using one passion to restrain another came to the conclusion in the eighteenth century that the role of "balancing" passion could best be played by interest--the passion for wealth. Intere…

The ensuing crisis transformed the category luxury. Long used…
