Se vinculó con Vincent de Gournay y visitó la escuela que este había inaugurado, donde conoció a Anne Robert Turgot, quien se volvería uno de sus discípulos más importantes.
Con el propósito de intercambiar opiniones y entender los diferentes planteamientos enciclopédicos y de la Ilustración, se vinculó con los intelectuales de la época, como Jean le Rond d’Alembert, Denis Diderot, Georges Leclerc y Étienne de Condillac.
Vida intelectual
Compartir con los enciclopedistas fue fundamental para Quesnay, ya que amplió su percepción sobre el mundo.

The left side of the Tableau represents the "productive" class (farmer) and the right side represents the "sterile" class (artisan). It follows from Quesnay's theoretic views that the one thing deserving the solicitude of the practical economist and the statesman is the increase of the net product; and he infers also what Smith afterwards affirmed, on not quite the same ground, that the interest of the landowner is strictly and indissolubly connected with the general interest of the society.
He also practiced surgery, serving as surgeon to King Louis XV and his mistress, Madame de Pompadour.
François Quesnay
Quesnay was born at Méré near Versailles, the son of an advocate and small landed proprietor.
Agricultural Sector: (output owned by Farmer)
- Produces 1500 grain = 600 internal + 900 to market, of which:
- Internal = 600 = 300 to Livestock + 150 to Laborer + 150 to Farmer
- To Market = 900 = 300 to Landlord + 450 to Artisan + 150 to Merchant
Manufacturing Sector: (output owned by Artisan)
- Produces 750 crafts = 150 internal + 600 to market, of which:
- Internal = 150 for Artisan
- To Market = 600 = 150 to Farmer + 150 to Laborer + 300 to Landlord
Notes: In the agricultural sector the Farmer has to use part of his output to feed his livestock, a new category.
Louis XV esteemed Quesnay highly, and used to call him his thinker. Perteneció a la escuela fisiocrática, una corriente de pensamiento económico que sostenía la idea de que la riqueza de los países solo se sustentaba en la “agricultura de tierras”.
Según la fisiocracia, solo los terratenientes y agricultores contribuían con el desarrollo del país.
Quesnay envisioned this natural economic state as a balanced, circular flow of funds—a system he saw as similar to the flow of blood in the body, achieving an equilibrium which maximizes the net product, and therefore the health of the society, similar to homeostasis in living organisms. He wanted to bring to the King's attention the real market distortions: inequitable taxation, insufficient compensation due to excessive taxes, underdeveloped markets, protectionist trade distortions, etc., which the government could help to mitigate.
In 1758, Quesnay wrote his Tableau Économique—renowned for its "zigzag" depiction of income flows between economic sectors—to explain his doctrine. He believed that manufacturing and commerce were "sterile" as (in his view) the value of their output was equal to the value of their inputs. Recuperado de ucm.es.
El papel de la fisiocracia en nuestros días. En 1744 obtuvo la licenciatura en medicina y le entregaron la designación de doctor particular de Luis XV.
Estar cerca del monarca le permitió ganar su confianza.

Durante esta etapa, Quesnay se distanció del campo económico y se aproximó a las matemáticas. And the founder of the Physiocratic movement was François Quesnay, the King’s physician. Quesnay delved into the works of the Maréchal de Vauban, Pierre de Boisguilbert, and Richard Cantillon. In this, Quesnay opposed the mercantilist doctrines of Colbert, believing that they concentrated too much on propping up industry and commerce rather than supporting agriculture.
He claimed that the only "productive" person is the farmer, the only one that generated a net product.
