A Market of the Imagination: Chesnut Markets in the South'West.
The traditional wholesale chestnut markets which still take place in the south-west of France illustrate a type of economic behaviour where the seller is a simple delivery man.
Strong links between producers and merchants are in evidence, they each fulfil unspoken contracts: the former deliver the goods, and the latter takes them. In this so-called transaction the price of the goods is not even discussed. Since in the field of human activities marks from the past cannot always be found, especially where behaviour is concerned, it may be useful to observe such a market in order to throw some light on the usual forms of trade for certain products in the 18th and 19th centuries for instance.
