Foncier et crédit dans les sociétés préindustrielles. Des liens solides ou des chaînes fragiles ?

Land and Credit during the Preindustriai Era. Since the beginning markets for land and for credit have been tied together by very solid chain and the historiography of the preindustrial era has generally taken this into account. But most of the time it has given precedence to one type of relation the role of debt in the expropriation of the peasantry. Obviously, there exists, however, relations of the opposite nature : the market for land is motor for credit or from totally different perspective credit and land are entirely interwoven. Moreover, the observation of the behavior of certain groups of individuals would suggest that it is possible to pick out cases of complete overlapping the roots of which and the reasons for which it is important to demonstrate. The new independence between the two kinds of phenomena poses the question the role money and of land as patrimony and their function as it was conceived at the time.Béaur Gérard.
