The Physiocrats were most prominent in France from the 1750s to the 1780s. Thomas Jefferson, though not a physiocrat himself, met several of them while serving in France, and was very sympathetic to their agrarian philosophies. Katherine the Great sought council from Francois Quesnay concerning agricultural and social reforms in Russia. Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours penned "Physiocracy" and was a friend of Jefferson. He also served briefly as President of the National Constituent Assembly during the French Revolution, was condemned to the guillotine but was spared after the death of Robespierre. After the family moved to America, du Pont's son -- Eleuthère Irénée du Pont -- founded E I du Pont chemical company.
