	Fernand Braudel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fernand Braudel (August 24, 1902–November 27, 1985) was a French historian.
		Braudel has been considered one of the greatest of those modern historians who have emphasised the role of large scale socio-economic factors in the making and telling of history.
		SUNY Binghamton in New York has a "Fernand Braudel Center", and there is a Instituto Fernand Braudel de Economia Mundial in São Paulo.

	Fernand Braudel Lucien Febvre Marc Bloch Annales school Mediterranean
		Braudel afterwards said that it was whilst in Brazil that he became "intelligent" - it is possible that inherent challenges to his own background and cultural heritage posed by living in a non European society changed his outlook in important ways.
		Braudel shared his captivity with some twenty other prisoners and often had only a corner of a table, or even just a plank, to lean his work upon.
		Braudel worked hard to create a separate institution or building where all his colleagues could work together, and where a succession of foreign visitors could be invited as associate professors; this idea, begun about 1958, did not achieve physical shape until the opening of the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in 1970.

	Annales School
		Braudel is the main figure of the movement, his most famous work, La Méditerranée, is divided in three parts.
		Braudel reinforced the interdisciplinarity of the Annales School project by linking it tightly to the currents in anthropology and linguistics of the time.
		In our view, Braudel’s work questions the philosophical presuppositions underlying historiography, in dispensing with the authority of a subject-centred view of historical change and causality and opening up the scope of historical investigations to other disciplines.

	Diplomacy Through the Grapevine
		Braudel tells of one company offering a four-day delivery between Venice and Nuremberg, though the regular post, making good time, might take eight days for the same route.[14] Of course, these express deliveries came at a higher price than the regular post.
		Similarly, Surian's sources barely mentioned the resignation of Charles V and the crowning of his brother, Ferdinand I, as Holy Roman Emperor.

	spasticrobot: Best of 2004: Books
		Stephenson goes into hyper-detailed, geekish depictions of such diverse subjects as piracy, alchemy, enlightenment-era scientific exploration, the structure of 18th century London's prison system, Protestant political dissent, the social behaviors of the court at Versailles under Louis XIV, and the invention of currency, trade and free market systems.
		In his acknowledgements at the end of The System of the World Stephenson notes his indebtedness to Ferdinand Braudel's Capitalism and Civilization, which really comes through in these depictions.
		This may be the first historical novel to ever utilize Braudel's "bottom up" approach in narrative form.

		It is a particular intriguing passage written by Ferdinand Braudel that drew our attention to a topic (which in our age of exclusive and vicious nationalisms, and, to quote Jan Morris one of -sadly- twilight of the multiculturalism) is often ignored: the "overlapping of the civilizations".
		One obviously is justified to wonder if the Yuruks came into touch with the Vlachs, people who where due to their pastoral and transhumant life style not dissimilar to them -notwithstanding their different linguistic and religious allegiances.
		Along this entrenched and closely controlled rural society, several groups - the Vlachs and 'Arbanassi' among others - leading a pastoral and semi-nomadic agricultural life (..) seem to have enjoyed a certain independence.

		Louis wrote: "It really amazes me to see Wallerstein setting himself up as some kind of arbiter on these questions." I lost the plot a bit too there.
		Personally I think Wallerstein is a good guy with an important contribution to make, I've published translation work in his Review of the Ferdinand Braudel Centre, but he's very much a "big picture" guy, and that has its drawbacks, because then you constantly have to provide the grand overview as well.
		It may not always be conducive to a clear political stance, in part because you are faced with realities that make it difficult to say something meaningful about them which doesn't oversimplify things and is useful and useable.

		Mitsu at Synthetic Zero has been saying for awhile now that monopolistic corporations are closer to a world of Soviet command economy than the "market" they celebrate.
		I don't know if this is one of his sources, but Manuel de Landa has been making this point for some time: following the vocabulary of economic historian Ferdinand Braudel, he notes that the current structure of corporate economy is not a market but an "antimarket"--made up, he says, of "little Soviet Unions."
		And so today, in the United States, there is a very strong political movement, mostly by the right wing, and Newt Gingrich is perhaps the most well known politician in this regards, who are trying, as they say, shrink the size of the government, let market forces have more room to operate.

	The Howard Zinn Reader
		A few historians--very few--change the way their readers and colleagues think about history.
		In the twentieth century the two historians who have brought the freshest vision to their fields are Ferdinand Braudel and Howard Zinn.
		On a grid of deterministic economics, Braudel resurrects a vital Mediterranean civilization of merchants, nobles, pirates, soldiers, peasants, and seamen who disseminate their products, politics, and culture throughout the world.

		Both are terribly wrong though, markets do not lead to capitalism at all.
		Rather the opposite in fact, capital intensive firms have, from their earliest period (well documented by Ferdinand Braudel) attempted to subvert, manipulate and control markets.
		Sometimes they find the best way to do this is by creating markets.

		Mousseau’s plan here is more ambitious than simply trying to prove that the democratic peace really exists—he wants to identify the original source of liberal cultural values and institutions that supports this peace and all of its accompanying phenomena.
		Borrowing from Ferdinand Braudel’s non-doctrinaire Marxian theory of historical materialism, he argues that economy ultimately drives culture and institutions, even though the latter also have some feedback effects on the economy.
		Why does he believe that this is the case?
