« Équilibre » et fiscalité au Siècle des lumières. L'économie politique de Jean-Joseph Graslin
The Jean-Joseph Graslin?s Essai analytique sur la richesse et sur l?impôt [1767] is at the same time one of the most brilliant critical analysis of physiocracy and the synthesis of a systematic thought which announces the sensualist political economy of the end of the Ancien Régime. The author, who argues in terms of needs and utility, describes a generalized trade economy in which the prices of goods and the means of production are determined by market forces. Refusing the logical framework of Quesnay and his disciples, Graslin defines an ?equilibrium? which includes social inequalities and taxation. Classification JEL : B11, B31
Charles de Sainte-Marthe, « On craint le Loup, par Faim sortant du bois », 1540
"A René Le Fevre, “Que sur toutes bestes, l’homme est à craindre”." On craint le Loup, par Faim sortant du bois, On craint un Ours et un Lyon bruyant, On craint Sangler eschauffé des abbois, Pres poursuivy des Veneurs se veoyant. On craint à veoir un Tigre fouldroyant, Un chascun craint toutes Feres, en somme. Mais moy, je crains sur toutes bestes l’Homme. Source : La Poesie Françoise, 1540. [cite
Le montant total des richesses d'une nation est-il une grandeur constante ? Le paradoxe de Graslin
SUMMARY The author wishes to discuss the affirmation of 18th century French economist Grasiin for Iwhom the total amount of wealth is constant value It is not question of an objective monetary or technical evaluation of wealth which has very little significance but of subjective evaluation alluding to the idea of total sum of needs Iwhich is nothing but the love of well-being Consequently the absolute sum of the riches is com posed of the sum of loves of well-being and does not vary To understand this paradox it is necessary to set forth some postulates not explicit theory which form the basis of this reasoning But these postulates are very debatable and they come up against decisive objections Nevertheless the author recognizes an underlying element of truth in reasoning The love of well-being has its limits Consequently if we want to measure iwealth according to the amount of satisfaction pro cured from it the total sum of wealth evaluated is necessarily limited In his conclusion the author takes theory up again but under different form the total satisfaction that humanity draws from its riches undoubtedly varies very little and it is very indépendant of its total amountBousquet G.-H.

Contribution to an understanding of the biology and larval morphology of two taxa in the genus Scopula Schrank, 1802, subgenus Glossotrophia Prout, 1913 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Resumen en inglés y en españolTítulo en español: Contribución al conocimiento de la morfología y la biología larvaria de dos taxones del género Scopula Schrank, 1802, subgénero Glossotrophia Prout, 1913 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)Descriptions of the larval morphology of two Iberian Sterrhinae taxa in the genus Scopula Schrank, 1802 subgenus Glossotrophia Prout, 1913 are provided: Scopula (Glossotrophia) rufomixtaria (Graslin, 1863): larval chaetotaxy: L4 and Scopula (Glossotrophia) asellaria dentatolineata Wehrli, 1926: larval chaetotaxy: L5. Original data is also provided on their biology which includes phenology, food-plants and parasitoids. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Sterrhinae, Scopula, larval morphology, phenology, food plants, chaetotaxy, SpainSe describe la morfología larvaria de dos taxones ibéricos de Sterrhinae pertenecientes al género Scopula Schrank, 1802, subgénero Glossotrophia Prout, 1913: Scopula (Glossotrophia) rufomixtaria (Graslin, 1863): quetotaxia larvaria de L4 y Scopula (Glossotrophia) asellaria dentatolineata Wehrli, 1926: quetotaxia larvaria de L5. Igualmente se incluyen datos de su biología relativos a la fenología, plantas nutricias y parasitoides. PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera. Geometridae, Sterrhinae, Scopula, morfología larvaria, fenología, plantas nutricias, quetotaxia, EspañaTo the staff at the SIDI of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid without whose help throughout the summer of 2011 it would have been impossible to have obtained the larval images with the Scanning Electron Microscope. Most grateful thanks to the Research Section of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid for the concession of two grants to enable the author to work under the auspices of Luis Parra at the Universidad de Concepción (Chile) (November 2010-January 2011) and then with David Wagner at the University of Connecticut (USA) (November 2011-January 2012). These two specialists taught the essentials related to Chaetotaxy. We are also indebted to Mark R. Shaw (now retired) at the National Museum of Scotland who determined all parasitic Hymenoptera species reared out and for his more than helpful comments over the years. A big thank you to José Martín Cano, “Pepe” (now retired) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid for the images taken of a larva for this pape
