School of Nimes

The École of Nimes is a movement co-operative French, credit especially in the South of the France and animated by Protestants (Auguste Fabre, Edouard de Boyve).

The idea is that of a co-operation émancipatrice, structure of training of the democracy and economic efficiency, making it possible to abolish the mode of the profit without falling into the state control.

The co-operative idea will be popularized by a first congress with Paris (1885) and by the monthly magazine (1886) “the Emancipation”, presented like a “newspaper of political and social economy”.

This idea is applied especially to Nimes (Gard): Charles Gide takes an active part in a “Co-operative of consumption”, being interested in the concrete problems of management and conflicts which these co-operatives have with the private trade.

In 1888, “association Protestant for the practical study of the social questions” is created with Nimes, with Pasteur Tommy Fallot as president and Charles Gide as vice-president.

This principle of solidarity - divided by men like Henri Marion, Emile Durkheim, Middle-class Leon - is presented as the way between Libéralisme and Marxisme.

This solidarity “is not like freedom or the equality a pure ideal: it is a fact best establish by science and by the history, the interdependence of the men goes the every day while being accentuated more. ”
