What is François Quesnay known for?

I am known as the founder of the Physiocratic school of economics. My most significant contribution is the Tableau Économique, a model that illustrates the flow of wealth within a nation, emphasizing the crucial role of agriculture in generating true economic prosperity. My work aimed to reveal the natural order governing economic activity, much like physicians understand the circulation of blood in the body.
