More quotes by Fernand Braudel
The companies only developed if the state did not intervene in the French fashion. If on the contrary a certain degree of economic freedom was the rule, capitalism moved in firmly and adapted itself to all administrative quirks and difficulties
Fernand Braudel
The mere smell of cooking can evoke a whole civilization.
Fernand Braudel
Happiness, whether in business or private life, leaves little trace in history.
Fernand Braudel
Everything must be recaptured and relocated in the general framework of history, so that despite the difficulties, the fundamental paradoxes and contradictions, we may respect the unity of history which is also the unity of life.
Fernand Braudel

Fernand Braudel
