Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de l'Aulne (10 May 1727 – 18 March 1781), commonly known as Turgot, was a French economist and statesman. Originally considered a physiocrat, he is today best remembered as an early advocate for economic liberalism. ==Education== Born in Paris, he was the youngest son of Michel-Étienne Turgot, "provost of the merchants" of Paris, and Madeleine Francoise Martineau de Brétignolles, and came of an old Norman family.〔Turgot is a Norman surname, former first name (Old Norse: ''Thorgaut'') (Norman family names of Viking origin ) (Surname localization in France )〕 He was educated for the Church, and at the Sorbonne, to which he was admitted in 1749 (being then styled ''abbé de Brucourt''). He delivered two remarkable Latin dissertations, ''On the Benefits which the Christian Religion has conferred on Mankind'', and ''On the Historical Progress of the Human Mind''. The first sign we have of his interest in economics is a letter (1749) on paper money, written to his fellow-student the abbé de Cicé, refuting the abbé Jean Terrasson's defence of John Law's system. He was fond of verse-making, and tried to introduce into French verse the rules of Latin prosody, his translation of the fourth book of the ''Aeneid'' into classical hexameter verses being greeted by Voltaire as "the only ''prose'' translation in which he had found any enthusiasm." In 1750 he decided not to take holy orders, giving as his reason that "he could not bear to wear a mask all his life."
