There is a great quotation by Quesnay in chapter ten of Das Kapital: "...ihr gibt zu, dass je mehr man, ohne Nachteil fuer die Produktioni, Kosten oder kostspielige Arbeiten in der Fabrikanten industrieller Produkte ersparen kann, desto vorteilhafter diese Ersparung, weil sie den Preis des Machwerks vermindert. Und trotzdem glaubt ihr, dass die Produktion des Reichtums, der aus den Arbeiten der Industriellen herkommet, in der Vermehrung des Tauschwerts ihres Machwerks besteht [Dialoge ueber den Handel und die industrielle Arbeit]." Who was Quesnay responding to? Can we have some more information on the substantive character of the debates he was engaged in? What is the history of Q's reception from his day to Smith to Marx? Can we answer these questions without overly depending on descriptions of a "Physiocratic school"?
