La terre et ses manufacturiers. L’introduction d’une raison gestionnaire dans les domaines agricoles (1800-1850)

“…At this period, extended debates took place regarding the development of agriculture and the methods available for making as much profit as possible from landed property.

According to Edwards (1986), the same applied in the USA and in England in order to be able to pay dividends to shareholders alongside the idea that fixed railway assets would not depreciate if they were correctly maintained.…”
