History as approached by the Centre for Economic and Social History François-Simiand consists of the analysis of economic and social phenomena considered in their historical duration. This formulation is not straightforward and involves a series of structuring analytical hypotheses. The Centre has a dual ambition: first, to promote a historical approach to economics; then, contribute to opening up economic history to make it fully social.
