Editorialphysiocrats BASTILLEBastille Day

by Fred E. Foldvary, Senior EditorJuly 14 is celebrated as Bastille Day in France. The Bastille wasa prison in Paris, which the people stormed and seized in 1789,starting the French Revolution that toppled King Louis XVI and thearistocracy. As a historical symbol of revolt against injustice, Bastille Day isbeing commemorated world-wide. In Philadelphia, people dressed asFrench revolutionaries marked the day at the historic Eastern StatePenitentiary on Sunday, July 12, singing the revolutionary Frenchnational anthem, "La Marseillaise" and storming the prison. Thisis the fourth year of that celebration."La Marseillaise" was composed by Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle in1792. It became the song of the revolution. The first stanza is: Allons enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé. Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé. Arise, children of the nation! Our day of glory is here. For against us we see raised Tyranny's bloody banner!The French composer Hector Berlioz later arranged the song for achorus and orchestra. Where the composer normally instructs"tenors and basses," Berlioz wrote "everyone with a voice, soul,and blood in his veins." After another revolt in 1830, there wasnew interest in La Marseillaise. De Lisle wrote Berlioz a letterof appreciation for his arrangement, and invited Berlioz to discussa libretto that de Lisle had written, but de Lisle died before theycould meet. Hearing the rousing arrangement by Berlioz makes onewant to jump up and storm the Bastille all over again.The Bastille Day holiday in France symbolizes the overthrow of theold monarchy and the beginning of the French republic. Themonarchy was not just undemocratic. The king and aristocracy alsoowned the land and extracted not only the rent but imposed taxesand restrictions on the people. The French economists of the timerecognized that the core of the economic problem was land. Theyformed the first school of economic thought, which they called"physiocracy," meaning the rule of natural law. Land, they said,has a "net product," meaning productivity apart from that of labor,which can serve as public revenue without hurting the economy,unlike taxes on labor and commerce which do stifle enterprise. The physiocrats proposed an "impot unique" or single tax on land rent,otherwise leaving the economy to natural law, letting it runitself. Their motto was "laissez faire, laissez passer" meaninglet it be made and let it pass, without interventions.One of the physiocrats, Turgot, became the controller general offinance in 1774. He eliminated some taxes and attempted to reducebarriers to trade, but was then removed from office due to theopposition of the aristocracy to the impot unique. The Frenchrevolution followed fifteen years later.The Bastille symbolized the absolute power of the ancient regime. But while many countries are now democracies, we have not obtainedthe economic justice that the American, French, Russian and otherrevolutionaries fought for. The Bastille symbolizes liberty anddemocracy, but we have a flawed democracy and only a half-liberty. The American economist Henry George, who promoted the same singletax idea 100 years later, wrote in Progress and Poverty, that wehonor Liberty in name and in form, but we have not fully trustedher. "She will have no half service!"As George wrote, it is not enough that we can vote. It is notenough to be equal before the law. We must also "stand on equalterms with respect to the bounty of nature." Economic injusticecaused the French revolutionaries to storm the Bastille. Economicinjustice remains today's Bastille. Arise, children of the nation! Against us stands this tyranny. Liberty calls to us again. Let usstorm and crush this tyranny once and for all!How do you feel about the Bastille?
