Barthélemy-Charles-Pierre-Joseph Dunoyer de Segonzac (1786, Carennac (Lot) - 1862) was a French liberal economist.
[edit] Biography
Together with Charles Comte, in 1814, Dunoyer founded the journal Le Censeur, a platform for liberal ideas. Dunoyer would also publish a variety of books on political economy, among them De la Liberté du travail (1845, On the freedom of labour).
Dunoyer was a member of the Académie des Sciences morales et politiques of the Institut de France. He was also a member of the Conseil d'État of the Second Republic. While many know of the less than amiable relationship between Auguste Comte and Saint Simon, there is much less knowledge of the more amiable twenty five year long relationship between Auguste Comte and Charles Dunoyer. The latter relationship is discussed most fully by libertarian Leonard Liggio in "Charles Dunoyer and French Classical Liberalism". In his dissertation in "book form" online, economist David Hart cites Liggio as the person who motivated him to focus on Charles Dunoyer, and his partner Charles Comte. Auguste Comte's intellectual biographer, Mary Pickering also cites a review of Liggio's article when she too mentions this relationship. Dunoyer is also mentioned in the entry on slavery by the Comtist, John Kells Ingram in both the ninth, or scholar's edition, of the Encyclopædia Britannica and the later eleventh edition as well.
