Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Because] generalizations about the Ancien Régime [have grown] increasingly self-contradictory and French history increasingly incomprehensible...the appearance of Professor Goubert's "Ancien Régime", coming as it does from an author with an established reputation, marks a red-letter day; for Professor Goubert is able to show that much of the current orthodoxy is nonsense. All the old clichés, he says, must be abandoned or thought out fresh. The causes of the French Revolution, he asserts categorically, cannot be explained by the 'triumph of an unidentifiable feudal aristocracy.' At last a French professor has the courage to concede that Turgot spoke the truth when in a public debate staged for the instruction of Louis XVI he said: 'the cause of privilege is no longer the cause of the distinguished families against the third estate but the cause of the rich against the poor.'" --C. B. A. Behrens, The New York Review of Books, back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancien Régime and the Revolution is a comparison of revolutionary France and the despotic rule it toppled. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–59) is an objective observer of both periods – providing a merciless critique of the ancien régime: with its venality: oppression and inequality: yet acknowledging the reforms introduced under Louis XVI: and claiming that the post-Revolution state was in many ways as tyrannical as that of the King; its once lofty and egalitarian ideals corrupted and forgotten. Writing in the 1850s: Tocqueville wished to expose the return to despotism he witnessed in his own time under Napoleon III: by illuminating the grand: but ultimately doomed: call to liberty made by the French people in 1789. His eloquent and instructive study raises questions about liberty: nationalism and justice that remain urgent today.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, professor Shepherd offers a comprehensive study of the radical reforms enacted by Turgot in 1776, which aimed at establishing in France a free-market economy. At a time when the ancien r�gime was already falling apart, the newly appointed Minister tackled its most aberrant and archaic features by putting forward the freedom of labor, the freedom of trade, and the abolishment of economic privileges. Twenty years before the R�volution fran�aise, these bold reforms were designed to overhaul the monarchy and avoid turmoil. The author provides the first full translation of these six edicts and thus enable the reader to make sense of this very daring project.

Download or read book Statesman of the Enlightenment written by Malcolm Hill and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this biography of Anne-Robert Turgot, a remarkable scholar who contributed to the birth of economic science in Paris in the 1750's, the author argues that the 1791 revolution probably would not have happened if Turgot's tax reformation plans had been adopted. As the leading minister of France, Turgot worked to strike out much of the ancient regime's economic injustice. But, when on the brink of executing the centerpiece of his taxation reform, he was undermined by the court and aristacratic financiers. Hill believes an understanding of Turgot's life and economic theories will help us meet the challenge of the millennium, and had his plans been adopted in the 18th century the development of the mation-state would have taken a different course. The thoughts and beliefs of Anne Robert Turgot were both simple and profound. He brought a fresh spirit into the process of government, which raised it far above the usual political maneuvering. He achieved a status that few other statesmen in modern European political thought have reached but much of his greatness has been hidden in the aftermath of the French Revolution.

Download or read book Old Regime France 1648 1788 written by William Doyle and published by Oxford : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of France, a byword for upheaval and instability for a century before 1660, was transformed over the subsequent generation into the greatest power in Europe and an institutional model admired and imitated almost everywhere. A further century elapsed befoer this hegemony was challenged, and even then the collapse of monarchy in 1788 took most people by surprise. This book, bringing together an authoritative international panel of historians, portrays and analyses the life of France between two revolutions, a time later known as the old regime. All aspects of French life are covered: the economy, social development, religion and culture, French activity overseas, and not least politics and public life, where our understanding has been completely renewed over recent years. A detailed chronology and full bibliography complete this compelling analysis of an age behind whose calm and assured facade forces were developing which were to shape a very different country and continent.
