Pour une histoire économique optimiste

A plea for an optimistic economic history, Jacques Marseille. Previously guaranteed a clear first position in the French historiographic landscape, economic history now seems deserted. The author attributes this phenomenon to the gap between the scholars, prisoners of their inheritance, and the changing public opinion, but refuses to give up on economic history. He advocates the renewal of a history which ought to become more accessible and open new fields of study, on the basis of a more optimistic reassessment of some of too readily accepted clichés
