The author, a historian and economist born in 1706 and died in 1792, examines in particular the institutions necessary for the development of trade (banks, public credit, currency, interests, trading companies, etc.) (cf. Marguerite Leblanc, From Thomas More to Chaptal, p. 134). There are chapters on the East India Company, trade, and the colonies of Portugal, Spain, and America, with details of on the slave trade.
