A discussion on the impact of Emmanuel Macron's policy and the tech industry's reliance on neoliberal policies to take over government spaces, with a focus on the negative impact on regular French people.
Paris Marx is joined by Nastasia Hadjadji to discuss Emmanuel Macron’s plan to run France like a start-up, how that justified a further dismantling of France's welfare state, and how his desire to create national tech champions is having domestic consequences.
Nastasia Hadjadji is a French journalist looking at tech from the lens of political economy and the author of “No Crypto. Comment Bitcoin a envoûté la planète.”
