Deficit reduction at expense of the poor

mardi 11 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Macron wants to reduce the French deficit at the expense of the poor, through spending cuts, rather than at the expense of the rich, by increasing their taxes.

He also explicitly advocates competing to attract businesses. That generally means allowing them to treat workers worse than in other comparable countries.

The main evil of business-driven globalization, as explained by Naomi Klein in No Logo, is this competition between countries that hurts workers in all countries.
