French people. Reflections on the fate of the people. Zhiskar d’Eden V.

In his brilliant essay V. Zhiskar d'Esten, the former president of France, reflects on the lessons of French and world history of the last centuries. The book gives a bright collective portrait of his compatriots with all their strengths and weaknesses. The psychology of the people is insightfully analyzed, manifested in relations with the state, the way of thinking, political traditions (Colburism and Jacobinism) the desire for indigenous reconstruction (the spirit of Tabula Rasa) and at the same time the resistance of any specific reform. Will these “generic signs” doom France to decline or in globalization conditions, will she still find her path to prosperity?

is the main question, the answer to which the author is looking for.
