During the late 1790s, members of the French National Institute discussed this theory in their evaluation of a prize contest on public loans. E.-J. Sieyès had expressed support for the theory in manuscript, while P.-J. Roederer refuted the view. For details, see the chapter on "Institute Economists" in my _Minerva's Message_ (1996). In 1999 some of Sieyès's manuscripts were published in an edition by Christine Fauré.
