In pre-industrial Europe, as in developing countries today, much of the population had to struggle to survive. The livelihood of all those who lived by the work of their hands was highly insecure. This book considers the 'labouring poor' not simply as victims, but as actively pursuing a whole range of strategies for survival. These strategies included many economic activities. Building and maintaining networks of kinship and neighbourhood was equally important, as was negotiating support from institutions. Sometimes, strategies were successfully integrated within a household, while in other instances the domestic group was split and members preferred to pursue individual strategies. This illuminating book examines the European past using case studies from present-day situations in Asia and Africa.

Second-Hand Circulations from the Sixteenth Century to the Present

Exchanges have always had more than economic significance: values circulate and encounters become institutionalized. This volume explores the changing meaning of the circulation of second-hand goods from the Renaissance to today, and thereby examines the blurring of boundaries between market, gifts, and charity. It describes the actors of the market - official entities such as corporations, recognized professions, and established markets but also the subterranean circulation that develops around the need for money. The complex layers that not only provide for numerous intermediaries but also include the many men and women who, as sellers or buyers, use these circulations on countless occasions are also examined.
The Moral Economy
Poverty, Credit, and Trust in Early Modern Europe

The Moral Economy examines the nexus of poverty, credit, and trust in early modern Europe. It starts with an examination of poverty, the need for credit, and the lending practices of different social groups. It then reconstructs the battles between the Churches and the State around the ban on usury, and analyzes the institutions created to eradicate usury and the informal petty financial economy that developed as a result. Laurence Fontaine unpacks the values that structured these lending practices, namely, the two competing cultures of credit that coexisted, fought, and sometimes merged: the vibrant aristocratic culture and the capitalistic merchant culture. More broadly, Fontaine shows how economic trust between individuals was constructed in the early modern world. By creating a dialogue between past and present, and contrasting their definitions of poverty, the role of the market, and the mechanisms of microcredit, Fontaine draws attention to the necessity of recognizing the different values that coexist in diverse political economies.

Pauvreté et stratégies de survie

Quand le quotidien n''est plus assuré, que signifient les mots stratégie, survie et famille ? La pauvreté n''est pas seulement un état dont les seuils seraient facilement repérables : c''est un phénomène relatif, socialement construit et qui dépend des perceptions que chacun a de soi et de son environnement. Et c''est aussi un risque qui, comme tel, demande des capacités à envisager le futur.À partir de cette double approche, perception de soi et risque, La. Fontaine examine les stratégies de survie que les familles et les individus tentent de mettre en oeuvre dans des environnements changeants. Elle insiste sur le rôle que joue la diversité des économies politiques et des cultures dans les capacités de prévision et dans la palette des stratégies possibles.
