Analyzing the Economic Development of France

Food is a very important in France. They don’t eat fast food as much as Americans. After meals they tend to talk and linger while Americans do that mostly before they finish eating. It is said that in France they eat like kings, lords, and then servants for dinner. While in America our bigger meals are often at dinner. Dessert is really common while in America for example, I rarely eat dessert more than once a week. French drink wine often, but not to get intoxicated. They normally drink it with their meals and the purchasing of alcohol age is 18. This is different from America where consumption and purchasing power is age 21. My perspective is France sounds like it has better

This paper will focus on the many elements and dimensions of France and the affect it has on the business that takes place locally and internationally. There will be constant comparisons and contrasts between France and the United States of America taking place throughout this entire research article. I will focus on how the elements and dimensions of the culture separately are adapted by the locals and integrated into everyday life and business. I will also give insight on how to conduct business in France for other countries, mainly the United States, by talking about the countries imports and exports and

The French Republic is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. As a member of G7 France ranked as the world’s seventh largest economy. It also has the mixed economy which combines private enterprise and government intervention. France’s economics are unstable, but it is still very competitive in the world. The reason why its economics is denounced is because its high unemployment rate and its extremely unstable CPI.

The United States and France though very far away from each other have a lot income with they way they were started. The United states was not always the great nation it is now. Infact they were under the rule of the British until the American Revolution. Shortly after the American Revolution the people of France became inspired. The people of France got rid of the monarchy and killed the royal family then created the national assembly.Even though these two countries begin so different the belief that it is a right to have life and liberty made them very similar.

The French Revolution was a time of period where social and political was a disruption in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799. This time of period affected Social Structure of France prior to the French Revolution. The factors that caused this revolution was due to having a bad government system, weak superiority, and inequality of the classes of people in France during the war. In this research, I will define and explain how Social Structure contributed to the French Revolution Resentment of royal authoritarianism. The three estates that social structure consists of are first estate which are the clergies, second estate known as the Nobleman, and third estate which are the Bourgeoisie, peasants, and workers. The Revolution did not omit sharp distinctions among the social groups, neither did it alter the distribution of wealth. This caused them to divide into these three groups called as estates.

Another country that suffered just as much as the United Kingdom had was France. Causes of their downward spiral were due to an underdeveloped economy. France’s industry was far inferior to Great Britain’s, particularly in farming. Tourism was also a big part of France’s economy, and during this time, many individuals simply did not have the money to travel around the world. France, like the United Kingdom, also suffered to recover from World War I. While not as bad, France relied heavily on German reparations, to pay for reconstruction. Once reparations had ceased, the Depression in France took place. Starting in 1931, France did not recover from the Depression until the remainder of the decade. During

The French economy is one built on capitalism and trade. Exporting many goods to areas like Africa, Asia and even the United States; roughly 27% of France’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is earned through manufactured goods that are exported (EW World Economy Team, 2013). In 2008 France suffered from a major financial crisis that hurt the economy. Since then the economy has been slowly recovering and continued an upward trend to this day. Each year it averages around 1.1% growth (Murphy & Romei, 2017). While this is not always above the average of the rest of other European nations as a whole, it is constant. As far as trade goes, France is the 9th largest trading partner

There were many things that brought about the development of the economy in New France. They ranged from simple things like fishers and traders and then developed into a global scale market, with trade passing to and from Europe and New France regularly. This process evolved from a simple fishing operation to a market-driven colony with a massive network of trading posts, which in turn began the fur trade and monopolies which later led to the industrial development of New France.

Discuss the political, economic, and religious developments in France during the reign of King Louis XIV, and how the other states of Europe reacted to create a 'balance of power' designed to check France's rise in power and influence both in Europe and overseas.

Southern France became a hotbed of heretical beliefs in the twelfth century. The church began to try and bring Southern France back under its control and eradicate heresy first with debates, intended to show the heretics their errors theologically and then produce a confession. One such example is “A Debate between Catholics and Heretics.” The document narrates a debate in Lombard in 1165. The debate involved the Bishop of Albi with another bishop, three abbots, and high ranking observers, opposing the Cathar bishop of Albi, Sicard le Cellerier,1 The author of the document however is unknown. Considering it reads like an official record it was most likely just that. The document does list all Catholic representatives, therefore I believe we

From 1530 to 1562, France was the most overpopulated country in Europe. By 1530, all arable land were under cultivation without introducing any new agricultural techniques or new crops and in doing so, grain production reached to its most output in 1530. The growth of population increased the pressure on grain production and subsequently rose grain and bread prices. The wheat price doubled from 1510 to 1540, but the other grains and products lagged behind it. Moreover, the cheap price of grains in France in comparison to Spain caused an increase of the export of it to Spain, even though it was several times banned by the French crown but the export continued as the main way to import gold and silver into France, in exchange for bullions.

America is by far the most hated country in the World. The reason why everyone else hates us, is that we are different and optimistic whereas others are not. The French wrote saying that there was nothing special in America, which really surprises me. The minister of France once said, ‘The purpose of language is not to communicate thought, but to conceal thought’. Now I realize the French really do not like us from this lecture and how he describes in detail in what each class thinks. The French think that we are sloppy, bostrious, optimistic, and incurious. They surprisingly don’t hate us for our faults as in murder, rape, and stealing, but more towards the side of letting women have an abundant amount of rights.

Furthermore, economic distress was furthered upon France’s regressive taxation system where evidence suggests it caused the Third Estate to be deprived of food and drove many to the brink of starvation which in turn led to social unrest. One possible interpretation of the taxation system in place is that of Jacques Necker who condemned it as “a real monstrosity in the eyes of reason”. Necker’s criticisms of the taxation system can be seen by the proportion of tax levied on the Third Estate who had to pay a tenth of their income to the state and a 5% property tax called the vingtième which was a tax on the number of people in the family. The long term implications of these taxes were brutal to the Third Estate as agricultural yields were declining yet taxes were growing steadily higher. This is arguably something King Louis XVI has to take responsibility for as he aggravated the situation with his excessive spending with total disregard of France’s fiscal problems as he ordered to build Versailles with gold decorations; this unnecessary spending furthered the debt, equally Marie Antoinette’s unwarranted spending led to anger among the Third Estate. Whilst it can certainly be argued the excessive spending of the monarch was not a direct cause of the economic problems thus blame cannot be entirely placed on Louis XVI as those before him, Louis XIV and Louis XV also spent excessive amounts, as they were accustomed to this style of living. Nevertheless the combination of other

     France, which is the largest nation in Western Europe, is a presidential republic. France is a very important nation in Europe and it continues to be involved in contemporary policy issues. Helping the world as one of the great trading nations, France is a very important trading partner with the United States. Not only is France important to the United States, they are also important to countries all over the world. Their abundance of both mineral and agricultural resources make them a very important supplier of products all over the world. I chose to report on France because it is an interesting county and I wanted to learn more about it.

Like most wealthy countries, France was affected by the Great Recession; however, France was not “hit” as hard as
