Marcel Jollivet : Agrarian structures and economic change in agriculture.
Within the frame of a comparative study of the evolution of French rural societies, the author seeks to evaluate the influence that agrarian structures have upon the evolution of the agricultural economy. A comparison of three case-studies makes it clear that this influence rests on the agrarian class that possesses the economic power and on the system of agricultural production. It thus seems that under today's conditions of technological progress cattle-breeding adapts itself to family-type of agricultural exploitation, and may even favor this kind of development. But cultivation requires quite the opposite, that is, large exploitation with powerful and expensive machines. The evolution of the agricultural economy in a given area varies with the technical, economic and financial exigencies of a production system, and with the nature of the social classes bound to the agrarian structures. The study of the inter-relationship between a system of production and the agrarian class holding the economic power is the main task of a sociology of agricultural change.
