France is the most attractive country in Europe for foreign investment for the fifth year in succession. France opened 200 more factories than it closed last year, returning to a modest trend of re-industrialisation interrupted by the Covid and Ukraine crises.
Jerome Fourquet's essay was brilliant but also over the top. It ignored some of the positive developments in France of recent years. It suggested that France made nothing but also admitted that the country was a world leader in arms, cosmetics, perfume, luxury goods, and wine.
All the same, the essay made good points about the French model created unconsciously over four decades by governments of Right and Left and only timidly changed by Emmanuel Macron's Centre in the last seven years.
