DOSSIER «LE GRAND RETOUR DU NUCLEAIRE», Jonas Follonier | Classical Liberal? Libertarian? In any case, he's one of those people the press likes to refer to as «neo-liberals» or «ultra-liberals» - not necessarily nice labels.

Here's a political and economic analyst who counts, who is a frequent guest in the French media (and not just L'Opinion or Le Figaro) and whose essay, published in 2021, Les écologistes contre la modernité, is fascinating.

Scientific facts that bring them closer to us and help us to understand ourselves better.
ANALYSIS, Antoine Bernhard | Geopolitics teaches us one thing: countries have interests, which are organized according to a certain world order. This order is constantly being redefined, especially during crises such as wars. The various states and forces involved advance their pawns to claim the best possible place within this order, according to their interests. In a way, this is the fundamental modus operandi of international relations, which have been shaken by the current crisis.
