What was Turgot's central economic theory?
My central thesis revolved around the idea that economic prosperity arises from individual liberty and the unimpeded pursuit of self-interest within a framework of natural law. I believed that the free exchange of goods and services, particularly agricultural products, would lead to greater wealth for all. This freedom extends to production and trade, allowing for natural mechanisms of supply and demand to operate without artificial constraint.
