In this episode of Unconventional Knowledge, GIS Founder and Chairman Prince Michael of Liechtenstein speaks with French economist Emmanuel Martin about France’s deepening economic and political crisis, exploring why an expanding state struggles to deliver on its promises.

The discussion examines the roots of France’s current challenges, from its postwar welfare model and growing bureaucracy to mounting public debt, sluggish economic growth and social unrest. Mr. Martin explains how centralization, institutional rigidity and a growing mistrust between citizens and political elites make meaningful reforms increasingly difficult. He also explores the concept of fiscal illusion, the hidden costs of government spending and the importance of transparency and accountability.

Has France reached a point where its economic foundations can no longer sustain its political promises, and could its crisis offer a warning for the rest of Europe?
