In France, the revolution of 1848 witnessed the advent and rapid
transformation of theories of social stability and progress as well
as socialism writ large. Issues, such as mass unemployment and
hunger, shaped such master sciences as political economy and
sociology prompting methods and policies that might adapt workers
to the new epoch of free trade and mass markets. Such a social
project was apparent in the mid nineteenth-century Universal
Exposition movement that helped to inaugurate the mass marketplace
under the rubric of law and order: the revolution of 1848 also led
to the rise of an authoritarian French Regime, the Second Empire,
under whose auspices France underwent rapid modernization. French
political economists and sociologists melded free markets and
socialism, linking together workers and their patrons more narrowly
and harmoniously. They worked to propagandize for the "reform of
society" where the mass marketplace would loom large. This
monograph details this project from the crisis in the discipline of
political economy in 1848 to the fully worked out social program
offered in the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867.
