France is the 7th largest economy in the world, a nuclear power, and the home of luxury giants like LVMH. But beneath the glamour of Paris and the strength of its military lies a terrifying economic reality: France is structurally closer to the Soviet Union than it is to a modern capitalist democracy.
In this documentary, we expose the "French Command Economy." With government spending hitting 58% of GDP the highest in the developed world and a manufacturing base that has collapsed to just 9%, France is trapped in a spiral of debt, de-industrialization, and political paralysis.
