La connaissance exacte des rapports sociaux qui ne sont plus est in dispensable au moraliste qui discute et juge les rela tions existantes. Pour ne pas s'aventurer en aveugle dans le champ du possible, qui n'est souvent que le champ des chimeres, il importe de s'etre muni de tous les renseignements que peut apporter l'expe rience.

Pierre Paul Leroy-Beaulieu was born on December 9, 1843 in Saumur, France.
He studied at Bonn and Berlin.
In 1867 Pierre Paul Leroy-Beaulieu won a prize offered by the Academy of Moral Science with an essay entitled " L'lnfluence de l'etat moral et intellectuel des populations ouvrieres sur le taux des salaires. "
In 1870 he gained three prizes for essays on " La Colonization chez les peuples modernes, " " L'Administration en France et en Angleterre, " and " L'lmpot foncicr et ses consequences economiques. "
In 1872 Leroy-Beaulieu became professor of finance at the newly-founded ficole Libre des Sciences Politiques, and in 1880 he succeeded his father-in-law, Michel Chevalier, in the chair of political economy in the College de France. Several of his works have made their mark beyond the borders of his own country. Among these may be mentioned his Recherches Sconomiques, historiques et statistiques sur les guerres contemporaines, a series of studies published between 1863 and 1869, in which he calculated the loss of men and capital caused by the great European conflicts. Other works by him are-La Question monnaie au dix-neuvieme si'ecle (1861), Le Travail des femmes au dix-neuvieme siecle (1873), TraitS de la science des finances (1877), Essai sur la repartition des richesses (1882), L'Alg&rie et la Tunisie (1888), Precis d'economie politique (1888), and L'Elal moderne et ses fonctions (1889).
He also founded in 1873 the Economiste franqais, oh the model of the English Economist. Leroy-Beaulieu may be regarded as the leading representative in France of orthodox political economy, and the most pronounced opponent of protectionist and collectivist doctrines.
