That headline is not even a bold statement because Macron has promised austerity and…when has austerity ever worked? It is really that simple.
There has been nearly four decades of trickle-down economics and anti-socialist policies, but there has been no promised increase in the standard of living. It has only dropped since the gains of the 1970s, the era of maximum worker power in the West.
I say the West because Iran, to give a personal example, did not have maximum worker power in the 1970s, so let’s not paint everyone all with the same brush – that’s inaccurate and only aids rampant depression in the West.
The alternative headline was: “Macron and new party to do what has never been done”.
