HARDtalk - Jacques Attali

Logo for HARDtalk - Jacques Attali

There are tensions in the suburbs in French cities; the country has high unemployment, low growth and the shortest working week in Europe. President Nicolas Sarkozy has asked Jacques Attali, a prominent left-of-centre thinker and President of Commission for French Economic Growth, to come up with a plan of action. Zeinab Badawi asks him why his blueprint for reform should work when others have failed.
