TheFrench liberal school, also called theoptimist school or theorthodox school, is a 19th-centuryschool of economic thought that was centered on theCollège de France and theInstitut de France. TheJournal des Économistes was instrumental in promulgating the ideas of the school. Key thinkers includeFrédéric Bastiat,Jean-Baptiste Say,Antoine Destutt de Tracy,Julien Freund,Pierre Manent andGustave de Molinari.
The school vigorously defendedfree trade andlaissez-faire. They were primary opponents ofinterventionist andprotectionist ideas. This made the French school a forerunner of the modernAustrian school.[1][unreliable source?]
