Historical paper: the process of French capitalism (1000 words)
In the history of capitalism, Britain was the original center of capitalism. But France, which entered the G-7 today, was the first to taste the impact of capital globalization. In the Middle Ages, France made its fortune in Europe earlier, relying on the increase of a large number of commercial capital generated by transit trade from the Mediterranean to northern Europe, rather than the growth of commodity production rooted in the country like Britain. Like the disintegration of China's well field system in the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of commercial capital outside production appeared earlier and in excess, which led to the early disintegration of French manor economy and the early separation of manor serfs and land. The growth of commercial capital has further accelerated the separation of labor and land production materials. Contrary to Britain, it is similar to the situation in China during the Warring States and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, the French capitalist industry was too fragile to absorb a large amount of monetary capital and labor outside the production field. These surplus labor forces flowed from rural areas to cities, which became the source of social unrest. The rise of Ottoman Empire in Turkey interrupted the commercial route from the Mediterranean to northern Europe via France, and the sharp decline of transit trade caused the depression of France. At this time, Britain is on the rise, and French politicians are trying to emulate Britain, hoping to revitalize France through openness and free trade. They naively believe that French wine and brandy can sell well in Britain with the help of British preferential policies for industrial products (import tax is reduced by 20%), so that France can be revitalized. Therefore, France and Britain signed the Treaty of Eden in 1786. To the surprise of the French, the total value of French agricultural products and handicrafts is far lower than that of British industrial products. After a short-term contest, the French industrial economy benefited little from the exchange between France and Britain and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The French wanted to cancel the treaty to stop the decline of national industry, but it was too late. Three years later, from 65438 to 0789, there was a violent political turmoil in France, which is commonly known as the "French Revolution". The appearance of Napoleon was that France was in a relatively weak position at that time against the powerful capitalist Britain and Adam. The severe challenges faced by Smith's theory of free trade economy. Napoleon saw the deep reason of the French political crisis [6]. He used violence to destroy British industrial products in the continental European market, and at the same time forcibly liberated European farmers (also known as "serfs") from feudal manors, turning them into free small farmers, thus creating a labor force and consumer market for the weak French capitalist industry. 18 15 Napoleon failed in Waterloo, but he laid an unshakable and sustainable foundation for the development of French capitalism behind him. 1827, the French industrial productivity ratio 18 15 doubled. Since then, France has jumped from the periphery of British capital to the capital center, becoming a new pole corresponding to Britain in the process of capital globalization. If Britain started the history of capital globalization, then, in a considerable sense, France started the history of capital multipolarization. With the process of capital globalization spreading to the whole world, Germany, the United States, Japan and other countries have squeezed into the ranks of world hegemony in the strong confrontation with old and new hegemony (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, etc.). ). After two world wars, these countries began to unite and formed a capital joint center that excluded the development rights of southern countries in the peripheral areas, and dominated and monopolized the world resources and markets with * * *.
