Summary

The shortages of goods, in combination with the proliferation of new control measures that changed the terms for (licit) market transactions, fostered new opportunities for ‘economic crime’ and incentives to violate or evade the controls. This chapter analyses economic behaviour to show how illegality was normalized in accordance with everyday needs, opportunities for access to goods, and the confusion of boundaries between licit and illicit commerce. This confusion also generated alarm that France was experiencing a serious moral decline.
