Joachim Faiguet de Villeneuve (16 October 1703, Moncontour – 10 November 1781, Néris-les-Bains, Allier) was an 18th-century French economist.


Biography


First a schoolmaster in Paris and then trésorier de France [fr] in the office of Châlons-en-Champagne, Faiguet wrote several articles for the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers by Diderot including Citation, Dimanche, Epargne, Etude, Explicite, Expulser, Extraction des racines, Fêtes des chrétiens, Fidèle, Langue nouvelle, Maîtrises, Moraves, Sanctification, Terres, mesure des, and Usure.

Under the heading Dimanche (Sunday), he advocated the use of the poor on Sunday afternoon to community service tasks, both to give them an extra income as well as to maintain the risk of idleness.

Faiguet is still known for different pieces of prose and verse inserted in the Mercure de France and other newspapers.

He invented, for the service of armies, a sort of mobile and portable ovens, of which the Mémoires de l’académie des sciences of the year 1761 made an honorable mention.

He was also the first in France to have made a bread composed with three equal portions of wheat, rye and potatoes.
