Jean Charles Léonard Simonde de Sismondi (9 May 1773 – 25 June 1842) was a Swiss political economist. He criticized capitalism from a petty-bourgeois perspective and promoted the small-scale property of the peasantry. He thought that accumulation of capital was only possible with petty-bourgeois production and foreign markets and incorrectly believed that the market would shrink as capitalism grew.[1]
