Xavier Lafrance offers the first thorough historical analysis of the origins of capitalist social property relations in France from a 'political Marxist' or ( Capital -centric Marxist) perspective. Putting emphasis on the role of the state, The Making of Capitalism in France shows how the capitalist system was first imported into this country in an industrial form, and considerably later than is usually assumed. This work demonstrates that the French Revolution was not capitalist, and in fact consolidated customary regulations that formed the bedrock of the formation of the working class.Historical materialism book series ;189.CapitalismFranceHistoryEconomic developmentFranceHistoryIndustrializationFranceHistoryWorking classFranceHistoryFranceEconomic conditionsCapitalismHistory.Economic developmentHistory.IndustrializationHistory.Working classHistory.330.94408Lafrance Xavier1723684NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910826972003321The making of capitalism in France4125141UNINA
