About Ernest Labrousse

Camille-Ernest Labrousse was a French historian specializing in social and economic history who was born in Barbezieux, Charente and died in Paris. Labrousse established a historical model centered on three nodes—economic, social and cultural—inventing the quantitative history sometimes now called cliometrics. Fernand Braudel said that if it were not for Labrousse, "historians would never have set to work as willingly as they did on the study of wages and prices".
