Review Quotes

Frances Lynch's accessible analysis should entail a profound realignment of our understanding of the relative strengths of the French - and the UK - economies by the UK's media, governing classes and economic historians. A truly myth-busting account of the shape of the contemporary and historical French economy.

The book not only succeeds as a great introduction to the French economy, post-1945, for readers new to the subject. It will be valuable to more seasoned students of the subject who want to see how one of the leading authorities in this field is thinking about key questions in France's recent economic history. Vital and unique.
