The Persecution Of Huguenots And French Economic Development 1680-1720 - Paperback

by Warren C. Scoville (Author)

The book titled ""The Persecution Of Huguenots And French Economic Development 1680-1720"" written by Warren C. Scoville is a comprehensive study of the impact of religious persecution on the economic development of France during the period of 1680 to 1720. The book focuses on the Huguenots, a Protestant minority in France who faced severe persecution during this time period, leading to their emigration from the country. The author examines the economic consequences of this persecution, which resulted in the loss of a significant portion of the French workforce, as well as the skills and knowledge possessed by the Huguenot community. Scoville argues that the loss of this valuable human capital had a detrimental effect on the French economy, hindering its development and growth. The book also explores the political and social factors that contributed to the persecution of the Huguenots, including the rise of absolutism and the influence of the Catholic Church. Scoville provides a detailed analysis of the policies and practices that were implemented to suppress the Huguenot community, such as the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and the use of military force to suppress Huguenot uprisings. Overall, ""The Persecution Of Huguenots And French Economic Development 1680-1720"" provides a valuable insight into the impact of religious persecution on economic development, as well as the political and social factors that contribute to such persecution. The book is an important resource for scholars and students of history, economics, and religious studies, as well as anyone interested in the history of France and the Huguenot community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
