A Second Wind for France
A truthful budget for 2027-2032, and the country it makes possible
Comprendre. Mesurer. Agir. — Understand, measure, act. France is at a turning point: public debt out of control, deindustrialisation, loss of sovereignty, social fractures, the climate challenge, geopolitical upheaval. The crises compound one another and feed a sense of decline. Yet another future is possible. From a rigorous, documented diagnosis, this book sets out a realistic plan to put the country back on its feet between 2027 and 2032: where to save, what new revenue to raise, how to finance defence, reindustrialisation and the ecological transition, and a renewed social contract in which everyone contributes. Precise figures, concrete measures and costed scenarios, built on sourced data and international experience. A book for those who would govern — and for every citizen who wants to understand, and to act.
