The Rise of an Agro- Industrial Community of the Swiss Jura : Vallorbe 1397-1614.
This study takes place in the quarrel between the partisans of demographic causality and their opponents. It means to demonstrate, through an analysis of the destinies of a little agro-industrial community in the Swiss Jura between the 14th and the 17th centuries, that demographic changes do not always have the same effects on the clearing process and the repartition of land.
At the 15th century, Vallorbe becomes depopulated while the clearing process increases and the estates do extend. The 16th century is marked by a demographic growth and a stillness of the clearing process; the small peasants become all the poorer and the big owners all the richer. Finally, at the 17th century, the clearing process is started again while natality keeps growing and the parcelling and monopolizing of land is slowing down. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
