Oct 1, 2026 France's debt and economy are clearly taking on Italian characteristics What threatens France is not so much the risk of bankruptcy as the prospect of a slow decline similar to Italy's trajectory since the 1980s, writes Le Monde journalist Eric Albert in his column.
Sept. 9, 2025 The French government has collapsed again "less than 24 hours after its formation" (here). It seems like a good time to look back at what I have found about the French Economy:
- Forecasting the Great Depression in France France was changed by WWI and reacted very conservatively to the Great Depression, making forecasting difficult.
- How is the French Labor Market Controlled? The role of World Markets for Agriculture and Oil.
- Has Austerity Helped or Hurt the French Economy? It's complicated but leads to a lot of Protest.
- Breaking Cycles of Austerity in France Find some way other than Austerity to control the Economy.
- La French TECH Cycles unlike Schumpeter's Creative Destruction cycles are stable.
- French Debt, Collapse of the Government and COVID-19 The lingering effects of the COVID shock are still with us and the French government is still preoccupied with Random Walk components rather than controlling the overall Economy.
- Six Futures for France A Steady State Economy or Growth-and-Collapse will not be accepted without Protest.
- World System: Steady State or Collapse The World System itself may be moving toward a Steady State Economy.
- How Does the Economy of France Work? The main controllers of the French Economy are not Austerity and Neoliberalism but rather the Environment and Unemployment.
- France in the Long Sixteenth Century Geopolitical Linkages between France and England have always been important historically.
- France (1450-1540) The Balance of Power System (Spain, France and England) began failing during this period.
- The French Revolution A Bourgeoise Revolution driven by the Urbanization Controller.
There is certainly a lot more to learn about the French economy. The important conclusion, at this point in my research, is that France might be heading toward a Steady State Economy which will lead to a period of World-System Chaos before government's learn to deal with the end of growth or Environmental Collapse or are able to discover new growth technologies through Schumpeter's Creative Destruction.
