摘要：Breaking with charity toward the poor, Turgot during the second part of the
XVIIIth century, makes a new social policy, very modern, by its content, its methods, and
by the underlying economic analysis. He explains poverty by economic reasons and not
just by individual behaviour. He thinks that the right to work is the single solution. Closing
the . dép.t de mendicité . and opening the . ateliers de charité . are the main features of
this change.
