Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""The Persecution Of Huguenots And French Economic Development 1680-1720"" by Warren C. Scoville is a comprehensive study of the persecution faced by the Huguenots in France during the late 17th and early 18th centuries and its impact on the economic development of the country.

The book explores the economic consequences of the persecution, including the loss of skilled craftsmen, merchants, and entrepreneurs who fled the country to escape religious persecution. The author analyzes the impact of this brain drain on the French economy and the subsequent efforts by the French government to attract foreign entrepreneurs and skilled workers to fill the void left by the Huguenots.The author also examines the role of the Huguenots in the economic development of other countries, particularly England and the Netherlands, where many of them settled and contributed to the growth of these economies. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic and social factors that shaped the persecution of the Huguenots and its impact on the economic development of France and other countries.Overall, ""The Persecution Of Huguenots And French Economic Development 1680-1720"" is a well-researched and insightful study of an important period in French history and its impact on the wider economic and social context of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
