This book shows how a rural household economy of small-holders managed to survive in nineteenth century France. Rather than taking the view that this system was an anachronism doomed to disappear, the author recognises its large adaptive capacity. This leads to a critical assessment of the notions of 'industrialisation' and 'modernisation'.
