Abstract
Abstract The aim of this article is to raise, and begin to answer, a question about the relationship between the French Revolution and capitalism. Discussion of the relationship between the two subjects began somewhat later in the nineteenth century than is usually assumed and owed quite a lot to the thought of one of Jean Jaurès’ contemporaries, the Italian Marxist Antonio Labriola. As will be shown, the connection that Labriola made between capitalism and the French Revolution was based on a number of distinctive concepts of capitalism, the French Revolution and history itself. One of the implications of this article is to suggest that without these concepts the French Revolution could begin to look quite different.
