The colonisation of West Africa (1880–1920) in the Journal des Economistes and L’Économiste Français 1
This paper examines how French liberalism treated the colonisation of French West Africa (AOF) between 1880 and 1920 in the two main academic liberal journals of that period, L’Économiste Français and the Journal des Économistes. While criticising colonisation, liberal economists accepted it through cultural and civilizational arguments, and mainly questioned operating modalities. We thus analyse the different relationships these economists maint…
La Revue d’Économie politique et la colonisation de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (1887-1920)
L’article interroge le traitement de la colonisation de l’Afrique de l’Ouest par la Revue d’Économie Politique entre 1887 et 1920. Notre contribution repose sur trois résultats originaux. Premièrement, nous avons trouvé que la colonisation de l’Afrique de l’Ouest est régulièrement débattue, surtout à travers les chroniques et les bulletins bibliographiques, par les économistes phares de la revue, mais aussi par des non-économistes. Deuxièmement, …
Agricultural Land Issues in the Middle East and North Africa
The continuing economic stagnation of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has typically been explained in terms of the resource-curse thesis. Yet, without analyzing the geographical constraints of MENA and the institutions of the region, particularly ones that pertain to land and property rights, this explanation is partial at best. Specifically addressing the structural constraints on using land for economic transformation, we offer a new ex…
Race, competition, and institutional change in J.R. Commons
This article examines the contribution of J.R. Commons to race relations, competition, and institutional change. One result of our study is that, in his analysis of institutional dynamics in the United States, Commons’ rejection of laissez-faire is derived from a racist analytical framework: the “superior races” should be protected from the “inferior races”. Another result is that Commons adopts a neo-Lamarckian framework which takes education as…
Proudhon et la question coloniale algérienne
L’article s’intéresse à l’analyse économique de la question coloniale algérienne par Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Son positionnement semble peu connu dans la littérature. Proudhon propose une théorie institutionnaliste du droit de la force à partir de laquelle il est possible de penser la colonisation dans un cadre raciste. Ce cadre fournit les prémices d’une économie coloniale algérienne. L’article examine également la cohérence entre le système de P…
Saint-Simonians in Nineteenth-Century France. From Free Love to Algeria
This book written by Pamela Pilbeam will become a classic on the Saint-Simonian movement, a precious reference not only for the English readers but also for the French scholars interested in Saint-Simonism. It will please specialists, students in History or Post-Colonial studies, but also casual readers. The book is well written, and the author shows a great agility in her ability to summarize the main content and ideas of Saint-Simon and the Sai…
Geography versus Institutions
This article examines the growth performance of Africa and the Middle East for the period 1990-2005. It employs a Bayesian model-averaging method that constructs estimates as a weighted average of spatial autoregressive estimates for every possible combination of included variables. One of the results is that the inclusion of spatial dependences has a direct impact on the determinants of growth in Africa and the Middle East. A main contribution o…
Socialism, Liberalism and Inequality
This article examines the foundations of the colonial economics of the Saint-Simonians that were developed in Algeria after the French invasion in 1830. Saint-Simonian colonial economics may be seen as a leading contributor to the development of French orientalism. This article illustrates the ambiguous position of Saint-Simonian economics in the colonial project, especially in relation to the role of equality. According to the Saint-Simonians, c…
