Théodore Fix

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Théodore Fix (* 1800 in Solothurn ; † July 31, 1846 ) was a French economist .

Life

Fix came to Paris in 1830 , where he edited the geographic section for the Bulletin universel des sciences . From 1833 he published the Revue mensuelle d'économie politique (1833–1836, 5 volumes) and wrote a large number of noteworthy articles for the Journal des l'Économistes and other French newspapers. In 1840, the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences crowned his treatise on the German Customs Union with a prize and commissioned him to draft the economic part of the Rapport sur les progrès des sciences sociales depuis 1789 . Correctly understanding the situation of the working classes, Fix demanded better instruction for the masses, measures for the benefit of the health of the factory workers, etc. His last work: Observations sur l'état des classes ouvrières (Paris 1846), testifies to a good ability to observe.
