Abstract: | Carl Menger, who became regarded as the founder of the Austrian School, did not only confront the German Historical School
and criticize British Classical Political Economy, he also read the French Liberal economists. The link between Say and Menger
has already been asserted, but on an intuitive basis. It seemed necessary to give substantial proof of its true extent, as
well as to document it with proper archival work—that is done in the present article. Menger’s reading of other French authors:
Count Pellegrino Rossi, who succeeded Say at the Collège de France, Michel Chevalier, a major name of the French Industrialization,
Frédéric Bastiat, the famous defender of free-trade, is less known. It is also documented here, bringing to light first-hand
material, mainly from the Menger Collection located in Japan, and the Perkins Library at Duke University. Thus are acknowledged
the origins of Menger’s thought in French liberal economists.
