Important dans l'histoire des idées au XVIIIe s., cet ouvrage connut de très nombreuses rééditions (avec des changements et une radicalisation progressive), émissions et contrefaçons entre sa parution anonyme en 1770 et la fin du siècle. Des tirages allèrent jusqu'à 25.000 ex. Cette histoire de la colonisation et des puissances commerçantes depuis les origines jusqu'aux derniers événements du XVIIIe s. fut conçue pour comprendre les conséquences économiques et politiques de la Guerre de Sept ans. Il prêche la collaboration commerciale des pays mais sans les abus du colonialisme et de l'esclavage. 250 Euros
