Some de-globalisation, re-industrialisation, re-localisation, and yes, higher taxes on the very wealthy, as well as more investment in education, health, and infrastructure are things that all developed countries will have to begin to re-introduce. So sorry if the wealthiest of the wealthy feel a pinch. So sorry if mega-corporations, which care not for people, society, or the health of the planet, find their budgets tightened. The alternative, which is practiced now, will take developed countries back to where the developing countries were 30 years ago: stagnant economies and wasted talent on a vast scale, with a tiny corrupt elites hoarding all the capital.

“Is France closing for business?”

Is your brain closing to thought?

What? No corporate-welfare? Reasonable regulation? and paying your fail tax share?

I get it, you hyper-capitalists don’t actually want to WORK for a living. You want your rape to come easy… .

(quote) The wind is now changing

it is not “changing”

you “anticipate” a change based on “your” interpretation of his election campaign and socialism

politically-inspired socio-economic change in mainstream Europe takes years, not days

just focus on reporting the news and not a ventriloquist influencing market sentiment

This is great news for the UK…. Already we structure our business to take advantage of the lower tax rate, but this will shift more FDI to more business friendly EU countries

Excellent. The best things the French do is export ideas. They vastly improved the English Enlightenment with original thinking, and then went off and slaughtered the people with the ideas and spent the next two generations plunging the country into ruin.

Capital moves now, freely, and even more freely in the Euro zone they insist they must have. The French young, when they emigrate will find the emerging Africans don’t need them, and have a few scores to settle. No one else in Europe will speak French, and the poor English taught in French schools won’t get them far. Someone needs to teach the world the perils of Socialism, the French are a very deserving test tube.

This is the French version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You can not have two faces. You need to have one consistent face to the world. France can decide that it can be a part of the world or exist by itself.

The French do a lot of things better than others. Manufacturing iPhones is not one of them. Designing luxury goods is one of them. Should we all not do what we are good at and that which remunerates us best ???

This line of thinking is absurd and dangerous. The French are better off without this particular minister.

If an international corporation cannot restructure a money losing subsidiary then it spins it off and cuts off all capital. Let the French provide the capital.

So Morocco has a better investment climate than socialist France.
