Albert Schatz

Who is Albert Schatz?

Albert Schatz was a law professor at the University of Dijon and historian of 19th century individualism and Jean-Baptiste Say.

His 1907 work L'individualisme économique et social first outlines a basis for the classical liberal doctrine, in France to be traced back to the Physiocrats. Then he talks about the diverse aspect of individualism in the 19th century: from Charles Dunoyer to Mill, and to Bastiat. He also talks about individualism in relation to politics, its relationship to religion, and finally to Spencer's sociology, and anarchism.
