Brigitte Granville Bücher

What Ails France? is a provocative but constructive critique of the French model of technocratic, elite leadership. Brigitte Granville applies an economist's vision to the monetary and fiscal pathologies flowing from this ideologically motivated technocratic rule, reflected in Europe's flawed monetary union, runaway indebtedness, and chronically high structural unemployment.
