Delighted to share my latest article for @EngelsbergIdeas, on the crushing effect of French statism on France.

"Whatever the cost, whatever the crisis, France is of the state, by the state, and for the state... how can one explain such political and conceptual narrowness?"

France’s over-reliance on the state is stifling political innovation and civic vitality. Devolving power will require a reinvention of revolutionary and republican traditions.

Very happy to share my latest article for Engelsberg Ideas, "France's common sense vacuum". I argue that France's inability to practice a politics of compromise is due to its obsession with ideological purity and intellectual thought.

More than institutional rewiring, France needs to transform its political culture, away from grandiose ideals and toward common sense.
