François Quesnay (French: [fʁɑ̃swa kɛnɛ]; June 4 1694 – December 16 1774) was a French economist of the Physiocratic school. He is known for publishing the Tableau économique (Economic Table) in 1758 which provided the foundations of the ideas of the Physiocrats. This was perhaps the first work to attempt to describe the workings of the economy in an analytical way and as such can be viewed as one of the first important contributions to economic thought.
