| 520 | _aDuring the 1780s, the volume of Languedoc cloth exports to Smyrna diminished drastically. However, as suggested by Charles Carrière and Michel Morineau, the crisis had in fact been latent since 1750. The archives of the Roux family in Marseilles confirm this fact. Studying the family’s commercial correspondence sheds new light on this decline. Although the drop in quality of French cloth and the difficulty of realizing profits have already been documented, the case of the Roux family shows that the distribution chain eventually came to constrain supply. The overstocking of the Levantine market after the Seven Years’ War was decisive. It succeeded in throwing off balance the relationships between the merchants in Marseilles and the manufacturers in Languedoc and initiated a gradual downward trend in their activities. | ||
