Summary "Histoire de la vie et de l'administration de Colbert" by Pierre Clément is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the life and governance of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a significant figure in French history known for his role as Controller General of Finances under King Louis XIV. It delves into Colbert's extensive administration contributions, as well as the socio-political context of his time. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent and the historical significance of Colbert's administration, highlighting that the work evolved from a series of studies into a comprehensive book due to the wealth of available sources. Clément discusses the considerable documentation Colbert has left behind, noting various original manuscripts and correspondence that shed light on his financial reforms, contributions to government, and the broader economic systems in France. It sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Colbert's legacy and impact, including both the successes and controversies surrounding his administration.
