Bertille Bayart: “Gabriel Zucman, a French export success?”
CHRONICLE – California votes on November 3 on a levy similar to the Zucman tax. The debate on wealth taxation will once again arise in our country.
Who said that France was losing its influence in the world? The news of our country is on the front page of the international media, economic, because of our debt crisis, general, because of the social movements and the looting of October 17. We editorialize in English, German, Italian, Spanish and many other languages on the pre-revolutionary mood of the French, or on the terrible end of the Macron years.
We dissect our “model” and its aberrant macroeconomic indicators with relish. Even fans of American comedian Bill Maher, whose Saturday evening show is broadcast by HBO, now know that 32% of French National Education expenditure is used to pay teachers' pensions. And then there is the “French Connection”.
This is how the Wall Street Journal describes one of our biggest export successes: left-wing economists. After Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, who teach at Berkeley, are experiencing their moment of glory across the Atlantic.
