Abstract
Antoine de Montchrétien" This essay examines how the French experience in Florida contributed to the monde inversé motif of Antoine de Montchrétien's Traicté de l'œconomie politique (1615). Montchrétien reversed expectations by treating American natives as neither barbarians nor innocents but as people with potential for greatness, suitable partners for the French in achieving a glorious future.
