sweet commerce

[edit]

the lede starts "Doux commerce (lit. gentle commerce or soft commerce)"; I think this is selectively in error. Doux also means "sweet", and I think it's the translation intended. The idea is that "commerce itself has sweet fruits", and not that "gentle commerce should be advocated in favor of harsh commerce". Also, in languages where soft/gentle/and sweet are the same words, they are the same word; it's only in interpreting to English where you need to be selective among the concepts. In the time of Montesquieu, commerce was heavily regulated and required licensing from the King; it wouldn't have been a discussion of the nuances of markets. 207.237.14.175 (talk) 19:02, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
