Фернан Бродель (1902-1985) – французький історик, член Французької академії; один з найвидатніших істориків ХХ сторіччя. Автор праць: «Середземномор’я та середземноморський світ за часів Філіппа ІІ», «Матеріальна цивілізація, економіка та капіталізм, ХV-XVIII сторіччя» тощо. На схилі віку великий історик своєю фундаментальною працею «Ідентичність Франції» довіряє нам ключі, аби відкрити нам історію Франції: він спостерігає за нею, зачарований її надзвичайним різноманіттям; аналізує глибокі й мовчазні зрушення, що зазнає її простір, визначає суть її географічного середовища та розташування на теренах Європи; виявляє чималу вагу її давніх коренів і традицій, які формують її краєвид. Мандрівка багатовіковою історією Франції, аби осягнути розумом її могуть, її виверти, непереборні й незмінні у сучасній Франції.

About the author
Fernand Braudel
146 books548 followersFernand Paul Achille Braudel was a French historian and a leader of the Annales School. His scholarship focused on three main projects: The Mediterranean (1923–49, then 1949–66), Civilization and Capitalism (1955–79), and the unfinished Identity of France (1970–85). His reputation stems in part from his writings, but even more from his success in making the Annales School the most important engine of historical research in France and much of the world after 1950. As the dominant leader of the Annales School of historiography in the 1950s and 1960s, he exerted enormous influence on historical writing in France and other countries.
Braudel has been considered one of the greatest of the modern historians who have emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors in the making and writing of history. He can also be considered as one of the precursors of world-systems theory.

The second tome of Braudel's "L'Identité de la France" looks at how things are organised on an economical standpoint. It is divided into two parts: one focused on "the people", that is those that make the economy exist, and one focused on "the things", that is the economy proper. This review is about the second part.
In this book, Braudel analyses the different aspects of the French economy, that is the agricultural, industrious and tertiary sectors. The first part on agriculture is very well written, on the occupation of land, the different ways the cultures were organised in different parts of the country, and how the cultures imported from the Americas spread in the XVIth-XIXth centuries. It also looks at how the techniques evolved, and the equipment the farmers were using, all the way to the XXth century.
The second part looks at how the industry developed progressively, first as "side jobs" held by farmers before progressively concentrating and becoming more organised, even if, by Braudel's own admission, agriculture kept an oversized presence in France's economy.
The last 100 pages or so look at the role of capitalism in financing the economy, with the role of Italian/Protestant bankers, how both coins and the paper economy worked, and how it evolved from the end of the XVIIth century.
