French Revolution

The economic history of revolutionary France is still a neglected area in studies of the Revolution of 1789. Whilst some attention has been given to the condition of the peasants, the urban working classes and the financial crisis of the Ancien Règime, there has been a general tendency to regard economic factors as peripheral to the truly political nature of the Revolution. This book is designed to redress the balance, providing a clear, accessible, and thought-provoking guide to the economic background to the French Revolution.Aftalion, Florin is the author of 'French Revolution' with ISBN 9780521362412 and ISBN 0521362415.
