Description:
The grain trade, a crucial sector of the French economy, caused enormous concern throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Bread was the staple of French diets, so harvest shortfalls triggered unrest. Successive regimes developed hidden, but effective, strategies to dominate the baking trades, influence prices along vital supply lines, and amass emergency stocks. Administrators at all levels sought to reconcile free trade ideology with the need to control the market.
