Biography
Labrousse established a historical model centered on three nodesâeconomic, social and culturalâinventing the quantitative history sometimes now called "cliometrics". Eschewing biographies and the narrative accounts of individual witnesses, which have provided the backbone of traditional historiography, he applied statistical methods and influenced a whole generation. Fernand Braudel said that if it were not for Labrousse, "historians would never have set to work as willingly as they did on the study of wages and prices".Fernand Braudel, The Wheels of Commerce 1982, vol. II in Civilization and Capitalism p 343 Labrousse's prominence was also a result of his post at the Sorbonne, where he supervised a generation of French post-doctoral thèses and his organizational skills from the 1950s onwards in leading team research efforts that were models of the historian's craft.Points made by Mark Potter, introducing the section on Labrousse in Philip Daileader, Philip Whalen, eds. French Historians 1900-2000: New Historical Writing in Twentieth-Century France 2010:360-70.His first great work was his Esquisse du mouvement des prix et des revenus en France au XVIIIe siècle ("Sketch of the movement of prices and revenues in France during the 18th century", 1932), the result of his law dissertation under the direction of Albert Aftalion.Noted by Potter 2010. It synthesizes several data series on prices of food and manufactures, on incomes, including the inflationary rise in land rents, and on lagging wages over the course of the century, as part of the interplay between economic trends and class frictions that led ultimately to revolution.Labrousse's own work concentrated on eighteenth and nineteenth-century France, but his constant concern for working methods that could be expanded beyond his subjects at hand to inspect other parts of the early modern world and the world that was transformed by the Industrial Revolution, is exemplified in the range of studies in the hommage of his pupils and their pupils that was edited by Braudel and others, Conjoncture économique, structures sociales (Paris 1974). The "Labrousse model" of the subsistence crisis in the preindustrial grain-and-textiles economy of France and its effect in precipitating the French Revolution, detailed in the second of his two magisterial works, La Crise de lâéconomie française (1943), which Fernand Braudel called "the greatest work of history to have appeared in France in the course of the last twenty-five years."Braudel, "Histoire et Science Sociale: La Longue Durée" (1958) Annales E.S.C. 13.4 (OctoberâDecember 1958:725-753), quoted by Potter 2010. Labrousse's social and economic rendering of the Revolution is summarized in the hundred pages he contributed to Le XVIIIe Siecle: Revolution Intellectuelle, Technique et Politique (1715-1815) with Roland Mousnier and Marc Bouloiseau (Paris: PUF) 1953). has especially wide application, though his paradigm has been adjusted by subsequent studies that have reintroduced complexities.Major works
- Esquisse du mouvement des prix et des revenus en France au XVIIIe siècle, 2 vols. (Paris:Dalloz) 1932.
- La Crise de lâéconomie française à la fin de l'ancien régime et au début de la Révolution (Paris:PUF) 1943, which gained him a chair at the Sorbonne.
