Baron de l'Aulne was the title held by Turgot, a prominent French economist and statesman of the 18th century. Born into a wealthy family, Turgot received a classical education and later became an Intendant of Limoges, where he implemented various economic reforms. His ideas on free trade and laissez-faire influenced the Physiocrats, a group of economists who believed in the natural order of the economy.
