A Note on the Early Versions of the Tableau économique
利用新发现的档案材料，特别是法国国家档案馆中一份此前缺失的《经济表》初版印刷本，重新梳理了该表三个早期版本的构思与流传时间线，并揭示了帕伊夫人作为中间人的关键作用。
Abstract This article uses materials that have been recently discovered as well as completely new documents, in particular a previously missing copy of the first printed edition of the Tableau économique that the authors found in the French National Archives and that they reproduce here in the appendix of the article. The authors combine these new sources of information with a close reading of materials—in particular the two letters sent by Quesnay to Mirabeau when he worked on the first two versions of the Tableau to provide a largely revised chronology of the conception and circulation of the three early versions of the Tableau. One of the points the authors make is that Madame de Pailly, Mirabeau's lover, acted as a go-between for the two men at that time and was instrumental in convincing Quesnay to share the Tableau with the marquis and to publish it in the sequel of the latter's best seller, L'Ami des hommes.
