France in Crisis:

Welfare, Inequality, and Globalization Since 1980
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Cambridge University Press, Nov 11, 2004 - Business & Economics - 296 pages
France is in crisis. In this provocative new book, Timothy Smith argues that the French economic and social model is collapsing inward on itself, the result of good intentions, bad policies, and vested interests who employ the rhetoric of 'solidarity' and the specter of globalisation to prevent change. Professor Smith makes frequent comparisons with the USA, UK, Canada, Scandinavia, Germany and the Netherlands.and argues that change need not follow the inegalitarian U.S. or British paths but instead can lead to a more equal society.
