The Persistence of Antiliberalism : Rhetoric and Reality
Pouvoirs n°126 - La Ve République - septembre 2008 - p.115-132
Antiliberalism is deep-seated in French political culture, both on the
Right and on the Left. While economic policy has diverged from the
principles proclaimed, moving from national planning to a shamefaced
acceptance of marketisation and privatisation, those on the Left
who wished to move towards a liberalised socialism have been unable
to carry the Socialist party with them. On the Right, half-hearted
attempts at reform of the French social model have been succeeded
by a shock therapy that has rapidly run into resistance and disorderly
tactical retreat. Piecemeal state intervention, motivated by economic
patriotism, persists.
