Description

Explore the economic, social, and political foundations of French Absolutism in this scholarly work from Routledge. David Parker provides a challenging interpretation of the Ancien Regime, presenting Absolutism as a successful attempt to preserve traditional political and ideological structures. This text offers a significant reassessment of French history by rejecting the common view that Absolutism served as a tool for capitalism or political modernization. Instead, it examines the period through a different lens, addressing contentious topics such as the agrarian foundations of capital. This book is an essential resource for those studying the transition of early modern France and the complex relationship between class and the state.
