In The Fruits of Revolution Jean-Laurent Rosenthal investigates two
central issues in French economic history: to what extent did
institutions hold back agricultural development under the Old
Regime, and did reforms carried out during the French Revolution
significantly improve the structure of property rights in
agriculture? Both questions have been the subject of much debate.
Historians have touched on these issues in a number of local
studies, yet they usually have been more concerned with community
conflict than with economic development. Economists generally have
researched the performance of the French economy without paying
much attention to the impact of institutions on specific areas of
the economy. This book attempts to utilize the best of both
approaches: it focuses on broad questions of economic change, yet
it is based on detailed archival investigations into the impact of
property rights on water control.
