She shows how revolutionary politics and laws brought about a social revolution within households and created space for thousands of French women and men to reimagine their most intimate relationships. Families negotiated new social practices, including divorce, the reduction of paternal authority, egalitarian inheritance for sons and daughters alike, and the granting of civil rights to illegitimate children. Contrary to arguments that claim the Revolution bound women within a domestic sphere, The Family on Trial maintains that the new civil laws and gender politics offered many women unexpected opportunities to gain power, property, or independence. The family became a political arena, a practical terrain for creating the Republic in day-to-day life. From 1789, citizens across France-sons and daughters, unhappily married spouses and illegitimate children, pamphleteers and moralists, deputies and judges-all disputed how the family should be reformed to remake the new France. They debated how revolutionary ideals and institutions should transform the emotional bonds, gender dynamics, legal customs, and economic arrangements that structured the family. They asked how to bring the principles of liberty, equality, and regeneration into the home. And as French citizens confronted each other in the home, in court, and in print, they gradually negotiated new domestic practices that balanced Old Regime customs with revolutionary innovations in law and culture. In a narrative that combines national-level analysis with a case study of family contestation in Normandy, Desan explores these struggles to bring politics into households and to envision and put into practice a new set of familial relationships.Studies on the history of society and culture ;51.FamiliesFranceHistory18th centuryFamiliesPolitical aspectsFranceDomestic relationsFranceHistory18th centuryFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799WomenFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799case studies.civil rights.cultural history.domestic sphere.europe.family and culture.family dynamics.family politics.family relationships.french culture.french history.french revolution.french society.gender and politics.gender politics.historians.law and culture.legal customs.new france.nonfiction.normandy.political history.revolutionary france.revolutionary ideals.social practices.social revolution.sociology.traditional family.FamiliesHistoryFamiliesPolitical aspectsDomestic relationsHistory306.85/0944/09033Desan Suzanne1957-1014807MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780448303321Family on trial in revolutionary France2835373UNINA04065nam 2200733 450 991082577980332120230125190937.01-60649-821-5(CKB)2670000000571248(EBL)1815868(SSID)ssj0001378611(PQKBManifestationID)11907635(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001378611(PQKBWorkID)11358474(PQKB)10157418(OCoLC)893913699(CaBNVSL)swl00404144(Au-PeEL)EBL1815868(CaPaEBR)ebr10956091(CaONFJC)MIL651367(CaSebORM)9781606498200(MiAaPQ)EBC1815868(EXLCZ)99267000000057124820141025d2015 fy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe basics of foreign exchange markets a monetary systems approach /William D.

Proposals advanced by critics of flexible exchange rates -- Notes -- References -- Index.Foreign exchange markets are inextricably entwined with underlying monetary standards. Thus, they are treated conjointly. Four different exchange rate regimes are analyzed: (1) foreign exchange markets with commodity money; (2) foreign exchange markets with fiduciary money; (3) foreign exchange markets with fiat money--fixed exchange rates; and, (4) foreign exchange markets with fiat money--flexible exchange rates. For the last eight decades, most countries have operated with fiat monies. For proponents of the fiat money standard, one of its desirable attributes is that it provides individual countries with considerable monetary autonomy. However, both analytics and experience indicate that this is not always the case. Whether a country has more monetary autonomy depends upon whether fiat money is paired with fixed exchange rates (regime 3) or flexible exchange rates (regime 4). More autonomy is possible with flexible exchange rates (regime 4). Such autonomy is largely possible because foreign exchange markets are allowed to accommodate the wide variations in national monetary policies. Under this regime, the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory of exchange rates assumes elevated importance in accounting for foreign exchange market adjustments. Exchange rate regime 4 has been in place (in many countries) for more than four decades, and there are critics. Those who advocate scrapping this arrangement generally favor a return to either regime 2 or regime 3.2014 digital library.Economics collection.2163-7628Foreign exchange marketForeign exchange ratescentral bankingcommodity moneydeflationfiduciary moneyfiat moneyfixed exchange ratesflexible exchange ratesinflationpurchasing power parityForeign exchange market.Foreign exchange rates.332.45Gerdes William D.1145470MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825779803321The basics of foreign exchange markets3928090UNINA
