Abstract: [fre] Résumé Charles Gide (1847-1932), plus connu comme théoricien de la coopération et comme historien des doctrines économiques, s'est beaucoup intéressé aux questions de population et ses écrits constituent un témoignage intéressant de la prise de conscience des problèmes démographiques en France, au tournant du siècle passé. Il analyse de façon originale les caractéristiques, les causes et les conséquences de la dépopulation française et défend des positions globalement anti-malthusiennes mais qui évolueront plutôt à contresens des opinions dominantes en France. Et il en va de même de ses opinions assez anticonformistes sur les problèmes de l'immigration, de la colonisation, du racisme, du sionisme et du féminisme. [eng] Charles Gide (1847-1932), better known for his work on the theory of cooperation and the history of economic doctrines, was very interested in population problems, and his writings provide an illuminating testimony on the emergence of demographic issues in France at the end of the last century. He gives an original analysis of the characteristics, reasons and consequences of the French depopulation, and the positions he defends are on the whole anti-malthusian, though they were to evolve against the dominant French ideas. The same applies to his rather nonconformist opinions on immigration, colonization, anti-racial feelings, sionism and feminism.
