France, a Nation on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Publisher: Gibson Square Books Ltd
Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
The French live in a feverish state of fantasy. People are paid to pretend to work, pretend to strike, and generally think work causes depression and suicide. Dental hygienists are illegal, yet the French exchange a staggering 184 billion kisses every year.
While preaching liberté, the State forbids everything, is run by one school's alumni, and messes up over two thirds of the economy. Despite his rhetoric, even Macron has made not an iota of difference.
Did you know that the French eat more McDonald's hamburgers than anywhere else in the world? Or that they pretend to be literary even as Fifty Shades of Grey is France's best-selling book, ever? This revealing look at modern France uncovers the contradictions and peculiarities that make the nation tick—and there is much more!
