Physiocrats
A new flavor of economics, known as physiocracy, is becoming popular among the Nobility . Physiocrats hold that the basis of wealth is agricultural production, by which all of civilization is made possible. The most important members of society therefore, are the landed gentry who own the fields and lease the land. The physiocrats reject the dominant economics of mercantilism in favor of an agrarian laissez faire approach; merchants of course do not generate wealth, but merely transport extraneous produce from place to place. While many find the depth of their economics impressive, others are more swayed by the tangible benefits of existing protectionist policies.
