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. 410 0$aHistorical materialism book series ;$v189. 606 $aCapitalism$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aEconomic development$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aIndustrialization$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aWorking class$zFrance$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic development$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrialization$xHistory. 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory. 676 $a330.94408 700 $aLafrance$b Xavier$01723684 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826972003321 996 $aThe making of capitalism in France$94125141 997 $aUNINA
