Caterpillars do become butterflies
General Motors, AIG, Arthur Andersen, Lehman Brothers, UBS ... these indestructible, unalterable and dominant giants have disappeared or are wobbling on their pedestals, which they forgot to make earthquake-proof. Behind the theory of the new economy, which from time to time takes on the appearance of a quest for the Holy Grail, the new era has already begun. In ...

The more I hire, the more I gain by hiring: creation of the SNCE, the Net Balance of Job Creation
What if the system encouraged always hiring more rather than always taxing more? (updated on 1 April 2013).

For a Made 'by' France that is greater than Made 'in' France
We are proud, but lack the pride of belonging, to carry a tricolour banner as loudly as others carry a starred banner. We often proudly claim France's superiority in many areas, to the point of sometimes appearing to give lessons, and at the same time we regularly sink into self-criticism and self-flagellation, which ...

French pride in their regional identity
- NewCorp Conseil's major national survey - The territorial reform desired by the Prime Minister (abolition of the general councils and division of the number of regions by two) will be difficult.

Forward
"Forward", to say "we still can" "Forward" was Barack Obama's campaign slogan, an apt and very contemporary slogan.

The future is in co-entrepreneurship
The great contemporary challenges make us rediscover our common destiny, be it political, demographic, economic or ecological. Our "humanity" in the sense of a community of men and women is reminding us of this. Indeed, well beyond territorial and national identities, there is porosity between our nations, our lives, our identities, our aspirations, ... Continue reading L’avenir est à co-entreprendre
France, freed from its shackles and taboos, would be an irresistible economic power

WHY WHAT HAPPENS AT FOXCONN HAPPENS NEAR US
We learn that the Foxconn factory has decided to freeze hiring, and this is rich in lessons and consequences ... for us here.

I oppose therefore I am
It seems that the opposition is going to have a new leader because the UMP is going to elect its President on Sunday. Nothing is less certain. In fact, the opposition is already elsewhere because it is already everywhere. Today, the exercise of the opposition is no longer limited to the playground of political parties, representatives of the people and speaking in their name. Above all ...

Shut up, we are debating!
Today everyone wants to communicate, to give their opinion without listening to that of their interlocutor, sometimes in a cacophony. It is a time of radicalisation and opposition. Prejudices are on the rise and debates, too time-consuming, are becoming rare. It has never been so easy to make oneself heard, but it is ... Continue reading Taisez-vous, nous débattons !

France is in political depression
A majority of French people say they are "dissatisfied" with François Hollande's action. This is a very poor result, which shows the extent of the crisis of political confidence in France.

Blocking the price of petrol is useless and illusory
Although the government has promised to freeze petrol prices, it has little room for manoeuvre. But in the longer term, the strategic challenge is there. Hybridisation, electric, hydrogen, new materials... France has all the assets to invent the engines of tomorrow. When a litre of diesel at 1.45 euros ...

Petrol prices must not fall (editorial August 2011)
16 August 2011:Oil has fallen to $86 per barrel. This is bad news from an ecological perspective but also from an economic one. Indeed, this will push us to consume more fuel, and give us less incentive to focus on its replacement. A change in taxation could ensure that prices are set high enough to keep the price of fuel down. Continue reading Le prix de l’essence ne doit pas baisser (edito août 2011)
Olympic Games, world championship of chauvinism
In a few days the London Olympic Games will start. They are of little interest to the French, who have obviously bought fewer tickets than expected (at exorbitant prices, it must be admitted).
