The problem of the wheat and the political answers to the agricultural crisis in France of the 1930s

Résumé

The scale of the crisis of the wheat in France of the 1930s questions the whole French economy and then mobilized public policies. It is interesting to understand in the same time the reactions of the economists, the politicians and also the representatives of the agricultural producers in the face of the crisis. The price collapse of wheat at the world level is translated in France in a cruel way at a moment when the country falls over to the surproduction. The importance of the agriculture in the French economy and the political weight maintained of rural France explains from then on the multiple legislative answers to try to contain the crisis. The debates on the liberalism, the protectionism, the planned economy and the corporatism are then embodied in concrete measures according to the variations of the parliamentary majorities.
