Black Market Logic: Meat Supply in Vichy France
Economic Tyranny’ and Public Anger in France, 1945–1947
French price controls and rationing after the Second World War sparked opposition from a broad range of economic actors – farmers, shopkeepers, manufacturers and consumers. Towns rang their church bells to mobilise residents against controllers, whom they attacked with verbal abuse and physical violence. They associated the controllers with Vichy and collaboration with the Nazis, and rejected controls as ‘economic tyranny’. Implicitly, they accep…
Spearhead Currency: Monetary Sovereignty and the Liberation of France
The Allied preparations to liberate Europe from German occupation included planning for army purchasing in combat zones and for the restoration of monetary order in liberated regions. The idea of ‘spearhead currency’ was developed in 1942 with US troops using ‘yellow seal dollars’ to pay troops and purchase goods and services in North Africa. But Allied policy worried European governments in exile, and Allied monetary policy adapted to take more …
La Capitale de la Faim: Black Market Restaurants in Paris, 1940-1944
Black market restaurants thrived in Occupied Paris. German authorities castigated the French for their failure to shut them down, claiming that profiteers consumed luxurious fare in restaurants at the expense of hungry Parisians waiting in marketplace queues. Paris restaurants merit closer attention for the evidence they provide on the conflicts and relative powers in Franco-German “collaboration,” for the glaring inequities in food distribution …

Marcel Aymé and the Moral Economy of Penury in Occupied France
Marcel Aymé paid more attention than any other contemporary French novelist to economic behavior during the Second World War. His war fiction highlights French adaptation to economic hardship, with a particular sensitivity to the moral confusion generated by conflict between state economic regulations and individual economic needs. Aymé was acutely aware of the ambiguities, inequities, vulnerabilities, and compromises of life under the German Occ…
Food Rationing and the Black Market in France (1940-1944)
French food rationing was more stringent than that of any other Occupied country in Western Europe in the Second World War, and the nation's resulting aversion to a regime that controlled rations and prices would increase the difficulties of post-war governments. This article investigates the role of French state management in wartime food shortages, assessing the parts played by French policy and German interference in the food shortages, the di…
The Faux Policier in Occupied Paris
Paris experienced a remarkable surge in crimes by men claiming to be police — faux policiers — during the German occupation. This article describes faux policier methods and identifies the particular circumstances in which they thrived. Economic penury provided the context, but the structure of policing power, the weakness of the Vichy state, and the breakdown of distinctions between legal and illegal behaviour all encouraged the increase in faux…
Traitors, Trafiquants , and the Confiscation of ‘Illicit Profits’ in France, 1944–1950
State measures to confiscate the ‘illicit profits’ earned from commerce with the enemy and the black market in Occupied France are generally considered to have been an abject failure. Economic collaboration and illicit commerce had been widespread. The need to ‘purge’ the profits from black market transactions and economic collaboration was considered essential at Liberation. An examination of the confiscation effort from archival sources shows t…
On vit mal: F ood S hortages and P opular C ulture in O ccupied F rance , 1940–1944
Of all the occupied European countries of the Second World War, France was among the most severely affected by food shortages. Wartime shortages required shifting from a culture of abundance to a culture of invention. In this article, we examine the food supply problem, the state's efforts to provision the population, and the effects of scarcity on the culture of everyday life. From the defeat in June 1940 to liberation in the second half of 1944…

The Gold Standard Illusion: France, the Bank of France, and the International Gold Standard, 1914–1939
Economic historians have established a new orthodoxy attributing the onset and severity of the Great Depression to the flawed workings of the international gold standard. This interpretation returns French gold policy to centre stage in understanding the origins of the Depression, its rapid spread, its severity and its duration. The Gold Standard Illusion exploits new archival resources to test how well this gold standard interpretation of the Gr…

Une Eventualite Absolument Exclue: French Reluctance to Devalue, 1933-1936
Speaking of French gold and currency policy in 1930, John Maynard Keynes told the Macmillan Committee, Both in official and academic circles in France it is hardly an exaggeration to say that economic science is non-existent. French thought on these matters is two generations out of date.'1 Five years later, French thought might have been three and a half generations out of date by Keynes's accounting. In 1930 the French economy was benefiting fr…

The Limits to Central Bank Co-operation, 1916–36
Central bankers failed in their efforts to reconstruct the international gold standard on a durable basis after World War I. The gold-exchange standard did not unite them in a managed international system in the 1920s, and it perished with little regret in 1931. Stephen V. O. Clarke's monograph on central bank co-operation sees ‘considerable merit’ in the stabilisation efforts from 1924 to 1928, followed by failure to maintain the system from 192…

Managing the Franc Poincaré: Economic Understanding and Political Constraint in French Monetary Policy, 1928–1936
Defence of the franc Poincaré dominated French economic policy during the Depression. While most countries took their currencies off gold to permit a wider range of domestic policies to foster recovery, in France policy makers resolved to preserve the gold parity of the franc by balancing the budget and lowering domestic prices. Novelty and experimentation were rejected in the conviction that a durable recovery was possible only through a return …
