Andy Smith

Made in France

Societal structures and political work

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the forces that structure life in France from the cradle to the grave. These rules, norms and power relations are the result of work conducted by a wide range of politicians, administrators, business people and activists. Some have changed recently, but most have resisted the calls of neo-liberalism, globalisation and populism. -- .
