Bilan de quinze ans de leadership marxiste

Jean Cavailhès

Économie rurale, 1984, vol. 160

Abstract: After May 1968, there was a revival of marxism in French agricultural economics. New thesis - highly theoritical - arise and there is much discussion on the agrarian question between their advocates. After May 1981 , management gains precedence over theory. The 15 years between those two dates witnessed the successive predominance of several abstract and monocausal such as the theory of small merchant production or that of the proletarization of farmers. Is it possible to elaborate a synthetic theory, defining production relations in agriculture ? The main elements which could be used in this definition seem to be the operation of markets (including the land market, inputs and commodity markets, the role of monopolies, the State, cooperatives, surplusses) and substitutions between enterprises. In addition to their theorical contributions, marxists produced numerous historical studies, they analyzed the internal heterogeneity of agriculture and studied foreign trade.
