Abstract

Rebecca L. Spang, who revolutionized our understanding of the restaurant, has written a new history of money. It uses one of the most infamous examples of monetary innovation, the assignats—a currency initially defined by French revolutionaries as “circulating land”—to demonstrate that money is as much a social and political mediator as it is an economic instrument. Following the assignats from creation to abandonment, Spang shows them to be subject to the same slippages between policies and practice, intentions and outcomes, as other human inventions. But Spang’s book is also a new history of the French Revolution, one in which radicalization was driven by an ever-widening gap between political ideals and the realities of daily life. Money played a critical role in creating this gulf. Wed to the idea that liberty required economic deregulation as well as political freedom, revolutionary legislators extended the notion of free trade to include “freedom of money.” The consequences were disastrous. Backed neither by the weight of tradition nor by the state that issued them, the assignats could not be a functioning currency. Ever reluctant to interfere in the workings of the market, lawmakers thought changes to the material form of the assignats should suffice to enhance their credibility. Their hopes were disappointed, and the Revolution spiraled out of control. Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution restores economics, in the broadest sense, to its rightful place at the heart of the Revolution and hence to that of modern politics.

Abstract

"La France se couche. La France se meurt. La France avait pris l'habitude depuis le XVII siècle et, plus encore, depuis la Révolution française, d'imposer ses idées, ses foucades mêmes, sa vision du monde et sa langue, à un univers pâmé devant tant de merveilles. Non seulement elle n'y parvient plus, mais elle se voit contrainte d'ingurgiter des valeurs et des moeurs aux antipodes de ce qu'elle a édifé au fil des siècles. Nos élites politiques, économiques, administratives, médiatiques, intellectuelles, artistiques, héritières de mai 68, s'en félicitent. Elles somment la France de s'adapter aux nouvelles valeurs. Elles crachent sur sa tombe et piétinent son cadavre fumant. Elles en tirent gratification sociale et financière. Elles ont désintégré le peuple en le privant de sa mémoire nationale par la déculturation, tout en brisant son unité par l'immigration. Toutes observent, goguenardes et faussement affectées, la France qu'on abat ; et écrivent, d'un air las et dédaigneux, "les dernières pages de l'Histoire de France". Ce vaste projet subversif connaît aujourd'hui ses limites. Le voile se déchire. Il est temps de déconstruire les déconstruire les déconstructeurs. Année après année, événement après événement, président après président, chanson après chanson, film après film... L'histoire totale d'une déconstruction joyeuse, savante et obstinée des moindres rouages qui avaient édifié la France"--Page 4 of cover. Forty years of indifference to the fate of the true "invisible" of the Republic (workers, peasants, employees) have, with the economic crisis led to a lost and injured people, delivered to the new despots of Brussels. It is time to do the accounts!

Abstract

Some scholars have noted the role of China's demand for silver in shaping the Western dominance of the modern world. This book discusses the interaction of this demand and the early nineteenth-century Latin American independence movements, changes in the world economy, the resulting disruptions in the Qing dynasty and the transformation from the High Qing to modern China.
