Piketty says France has never been richer, debate follows

Original: richesse

Economist Thomas Piketty is claiming that France has never been as wealthy, pointing to GDP figures, while critics note that GDP can be manipulated and does not reflect how wealth is actually shared. On RMC, commentator Charles Consigny argued that corporate profits are not well distributed and called for a better sharing of wealth within companies. The exchange is fuelling a broader French debate over wealth, inequality and how prosperity should be measured and distributed.

Why now: A prominent economist's claim about France's record wealth has sparked public debate over inequality and profit distribution.
