history
The academy was created in 1832 on the initiative of François Guizot . She was the heiress of the second class of the institute, which had been founded in 1795 and abolished in 1803 by Napoleon in his dispute with the “ideologues”.
In 1834 the Academy accepted a foundation from Baron Louis-Auguste Felix de Beaujour , which was intended to offer a prize every five years for the best memorandum on the appropriate means to prevent misery in the various countries, but especially in France. One of these awardees was Eugène Buret . Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was also stimulated by the competition questions to publish.
