Abstract: In France, a mixed economy was gradually set up during the war due to multiple factors: shortages and long-term dependencies, pressure from Britain, growing interallied economic cooperation, and the French doctrine of "organised capitalism". The state's new economic roles (such as planning, buying, financing, chartering and allocating) and increasing controls were implemented alongside constant expansion and reorganisation. The war led to concertation and partnerships with large companies, employers' organisations, business associations and trade unions rather than "statism". Several industrial, social, financial and tax war policies lasted after 1919, increasing the relevance of the motto "return to normalcy".
