Abstract

[fre] Cet article analyse les similarités entre la première mondialisation (1870-1914) et la mondialisation actuelle. Il relève des enseignements de politique économique de la première. Sur les marchés de capitaux, la forte intégration des pays avancés au XIXème siècle souligne l’intérêt de la stabilité des taux de change, que favorisait alors l’étalon or. Les crises financières de la première mondialisation rappellent le rôle stabilisateur de déficits courants limités et d’une dette essentiellement libellée en devise domestique. Sur le marché des biens, des leçons ont été tirées de l’absence de coordination des politiques commerciales caractéristique de la première mondialisation. La mise en place d’organisations internationales favorise l’ouverture progressive et la coordination des politiques commerciales des pays situés à des stades de développement différents. [eng] Learning from the First Globalisation (1870-1914). . This article analyses the similarities between the first globalisation (1870-1914) and the current one. The first globalisation offers some lessons in economic policy. As regards capital markets, the close integration of the advanced countries in the nineteenth century vividly illustrates the advantages of exchange-rate stability, promoted by the gold standard at the time. The financial crises of the first globalisation also remind us of the stabilising effect of limited current-account deficits and of a debt mostly denominated in domestic currency. As regards goods markets, lessons were drawn from the lack of trade-policy coordination characteristic of the first globalisation. The establishment of international organisations has fostered the gradual opening and coordination of trade policies of countries at different stages of development.
