Question

explain the economic course of the french revolution

Answer 1

Economic cause - Production of grains could not keep pace with the demand. The price of bread which was the staple diet of the majority rose rapidly . Most workers were employed as labourers in workshops whose owner fixed their wages. But wages did not keep pace with the rise in prices. So the gap between the poor and the rich widened.Things became worse whenever drought or hail reduced the harvest.This led to a subsistence crisis, something that occurred frequently in France during the Old Regime.
