Discussion: The True and Only Wealth of Nations: Essays on Family, Economy and Society

Author: Louis de Bonald

Description: Louis de Bonald, a conservative philosopher, explores the link between family, economy, and social order in this work. Arguing that the true wealth of nations lies in moral and social foundations rather than mere materialism, Bonald critiques the modern emphasis on individualism and economic growth. He emphasizes the family as the essential unit of society, advocating for social structures rooted in tradition, authority, and religion. Bonald presents a counterpoint to Enlightenment ideas, asserting that social stability and moral health are the true sources of national prosperity.
