Abstract

Le 3 mars 1764, Adam Smith, le père de l'économie politique moderne, et son élève, le duc de Buccleuch, arrivaient à Toulouse où ils allaient s'installer pendant dix-huit mois. Pour Smith, qui n'a pas encore écrit la Richesse des Nations, son grand livre d'économie, ce sera le premier et le seul séjour en dehors de la Grande-Bretagne. Il lui donnera l'occasion de visiter Bordeaux et sa porte océane, Bagnères de Bigorre au pied des Pyrénées, où la haute société européenne se retrouve l'été, et de découvrir les arcanes des états du Languedoc à Montpellier et le Canal du Midi (Canal du Languedoc selon son nom du 18e siècle) qui inspirera ses réflexions sur la gouvernance des entreprises. Smith rencontrera à Toulouse les principaux acteurs de l'affaire Calas, dont il parlera dans l'ultime version de la Théorie des Sentiments Moraux.
