The Algerian social formation on the eve of colonization
An analysis of the Algerian social formation in 1830 poses two types of problems: That of identifying the dominant economic system within that social formation. That of relating that social formation to the international economic circuits of capitalism in full expansion. An economic system is dominant when it subordinates to its own logic of extended reproduction the other economic systems with which it is interlinked in the social formation. In precolonial Algerian the means of production were the land and the instruments for working the soil in the countryside.
