Before the Deluge

- Public Debt, Inequality, and the Intellectual Origins of the French Revolution

Bag om Before the Deluge

Madame de Pompadour's comment, 'Apres moi, le deluge' (after me, the deluge), has looked like a callous if accurate prophecy of the political cataclysms in 1789. But decades before the Bastille fell, French writers had used the phrase to describe a different kind of selfish recklessness. This book examines these fears and the responses to them.
