Louis XIV And Jean Baptiste Colbert

Abstract: 11 pages in length. Louis XIV and Jean Baptiste Colbert are perhaps the two most notable -- if not disdainful -- names associated with French political history. With Louis XIV exalting himself as supreme totalitarian ruler and Colbert focusing solely upon progressive external economy to the complete detriment of any internal economy, the two men played a significant role in the new economic regulation and its effect in French economic and power. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
