Very few authors have addressed the origins of capitalism in France
as the emergence of a distinct form of historical society, premised
on a new configuration of social power, rather than as an extension
of commercial activities liberated from feudal obstacles. Xavier
Lafrance offers the first thorough historical analysis of the
origins of capitalist social property relations in France from a
'political Marxis' 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
France in an industrial form 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.
