Abstract

Le débat qui a eu lieu en Angleterre dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle à propos des corn laws reprend un thème fort ancien : celui de l'approvisionnement alimentaire de la nation. Le XIXe siècle a introduit un débat national entre les économistes puis au parlement et dans les milieux industriels, et au sein de l'opinion publique, sur les avantages et les inconvénients respectifs du libre-échange et du protectionnisme agricole. Ce débat illustre également deux conceptions du marché : la première que l'on doit aux ricardiens est celle d'un marché réducteur de déséquilibres économiques et sociaux (conception mécanique) et la deuxième illustrée par Malthus est celle d'un marché contaminateur de déséquilibres économiques, politiques et sociaux. L'issue de ce débat a marqué enfin une étape décisive dans l'abandon de la thèse de l'Etat nourricier
