Reconciling French People with Wealth Creation
Debate 1
While the word “entrepreneur” was coined by a French economist, Frédéric Bastiat, doubts remain as to the “entrepreneuralization” of French society. Even worth, profitability and wealth creation arouse mistrust. Why this rejection and how can it be addressed? The government is trying to make the tax system more incentive and simplify administrative procedures in order to encourage business creations. France is one of the world leaders in terms of the setting-up of companies but they create few jobs and tend to be short-lived. It is high time to invest in their future and refocus the project for France on the creation of wealth.
