But, unfortunately, he is not really a liberal (french meaning of the word. Let’s say classical liberal for the anglo-saxon world or they may be confused). He is also an interventionist and in his vision State should interfere a lot with markets.

So, we don’t know at the end which Sarkozy will act : the interventionist one or the “liberal” one. I fear it may be the first one.

Classical liberals can’t exist in France due to the lack of economical knowledge of French people in general. For French, there is no scientific and objective content in economy. It is just an ideology. So, it is just a matter of politics not of facts : they don’t want to face the reality.

But, for sure, the Sarkozy era will be interesting.

Happy to see you blogging again
