Abstract

L’article entend montrer que Boisguilbert n’était pas un anti-colbertiste. Il propose une critique du système fiscal qui avait appauvri la France de Louis XIV. Pourtant, malgré une pression fiscale plus forte, le roi n’en aurait pas bénéficié. Au contraire, une bonne partie de la cour, comme de l’administration royale, se serait enrichie à ses dépens, suite à la mise en place d’un système fisco-financier aux caractères singuliers. Nous concluons que l’adversaire de Boisguilbert était bien Colbert : il est condamné pour son intéressement personnel au système fisco-financier qu’il avait contribué à mettre en place. Par extension, Louis XIV et l’absolutisme étaient également remis en cause.
