What led to subsistence crises in France?

Answer 1

The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28

million in 1789. This led to a rapid increase in the demand for

foodgrains. Production of grains could not keep pace with the

demand. So the price of bread which was the staple diet of the majority

rose rapidly. Most workers were employed as labourers in workshops

whose owner fixed their wages. But wages did not keep pace with

the rise in prices. So the gap between the poor and the rich widened.

Things became worse whenever drought or hail reduced the harvest.

This led to a subsistence crisis...
