THE FRENCH ECONOMY: PAST AND PRESENT
This course explores the historical development and contemporary dynamics of the French
economy. We begin with a survey of recent trends and then ask what kinds of historical inquiries might
help explain them. We then explore industrialization in nineteenth-century France, the economics of
empire, the rise of large-scale modern enterprises, and the impact of the two world wars and Great
Depression in the twentieth century. For the rest of the term we concentrate on the French economy
since 1945. After exploring how the French economy has evolved in relationship to the European
Community, we focus on several aspects of economic policy, including planning and industrial policy,
monetary policy and finance, employment policy and labor relations, regional decline and
development, agriculture, the welfare state, and issues of trade and globalization in a rapidly changing
international economy.
There are no prerequisites for the course, though students should be familiar with the basic concepts
and terminology commonly taught in introductory economics courses. Likewise, some familiarity with
the political history of twentieth-century France and of postwar Europe is essential. Be sure to ask the
professor about additional background reading if at any point in the course you feel it would help you.
Because this is a discussion course, its quality depends on everyone preparing the material and
participating in class. Three papers are required: two 5 to 7-page papers on the central themes
involved in the reading for two different weeks of the course, due in class when the reading will be
discussed, and a 15-page term paper on a topic worked out in discussion with the instructor and due on
Friday, December 15. Grading is as follows: class participation (20%), short papers (20% each), and
the final term paper (40%). Students will be asked to make brief presentations during the weeks when
their short papers are due.
The following books are available in paperback at the NYU campus bookstore:
Peter Hall, Governing the Economy: The Politics of State Intervention in Britain and France
(New York: Oxford University Press, 1986).
