The French Revolution: Difference between revisions

* [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]]: Whatever else you think about Marie and Louis, it's pretty obvious they had no clue what they were doing. The other French aristocrats weren't much more efficient, and [[Aristocrats Are Evil|most higher clergy and nobles constantly blocked any economic reforms that would help the country]] ([[Money, Dear Boy|since said reforms would also require them to give up some of their cash and nobility privileges]]). Others (usually poorer ones) supported them, some because they sincerely believed the country needed change. Others opposed reforms just because they hated Calonne.
