GANILH, See also:CHARLES (1758-1836) , See also:French economist and politician, was See also:born at Allanche in See also:Cantal on the 6th of See also:January 1758. He was educated for the profession of See also:law and practised as avocat. During the troubled See also:period which culminated in the taking of the See also:Bastille on the 14th of See also:July 1789, he came prominently forward in public affairs, and was one of the seven members of the permanent See also:Committee of Public Safety which sat at the hotel de ville. He was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror, and was only released by the See also:counter-revolution of the 9th See also:Thermidor. During the first consulate he was called to the tribunate, but was excluded in 1802. In 1815 he was elected See also:deputy for Cantal, and finally See also:left the Chamber on its See also:dissolution in 1823. He died in 1836. Ganilh is best known as the most vigorous defender of the See also:mercantile school in opposition to the views of See also:Adam See also:Smith and the See also:English economists. His See also:works, though interesting from the clearness and precision with which these See also:peculiar opinions are presented, do not now possess much value for the student of See also:political See also:economy. He wrote Essai politique sur le See also:revenue See also:des peuples de l'antiquite, du moyen See also:age, &c. (1808); Des systemes d'economie politique (1809); Theorie d'economie politique (1815); Dictionnaire analytique de l'economie politique (1826).
