Usury in the XlXth Century : a Real Pest in Rural Areas
Usury is one of the components of rural life in the 19th century. As a form of economic violence, it remains a hidden social fact. Through archives, we can grasp the peasant vision of village communities of the Rambouillet district. The resort to a money-lender reveals the latter 's identity and risks undergone, it gives precisions on the extent and profits of this illicit trade. It shows the ambivalent attitudes of individuals and couples, stresses their outcome and testifies of the rivalry between town and country. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
