  Ere Nokkala, From Natural Law to Political Economy: J.H.G. von Justi on State, Commerece and International Order(2019), p 158:
  'Justi was also acquainted with Peter Forsskal (1732 - 1763) who was one of the radicals of the Cap Party thsat challenged the phikosophical, economic and political orthodoxy of the aristocracy's Hat Party. Justi's and Forsskal's evaluation of the situation of Sweden coincided: both of them saw Sweden degenerating in to an aristocratic tyranny.'
