Bread price reform in France sparks protests and relief fears
The 1791 bread price fixation ends as Finance Minister Rene Monory deregulates supply, boosting baguette prices from 1.25 to 1.30 and 1.40 francs in urban areas. Leftist papers warn of a black market while officials insist the economy must shed handouts. Inflation looms as citizens weigh stability against upheaval.

Bread and deregulation spark political bread wars
A fragmentary analysis traces bread riots in France from royalist and revolutionary reprisals to modern price controls. It notes bakers, including St. Honore as patron, fear price wars and consolidation by large bakeries. A 1785 inflation spike and protests over croissants illustrate ongoing bread politics. The piece ends with the remark that deregulation accompanied other deregulations, echoing satire on telling French men to eat cake.
