Summary

“To read Daniel Cohen, to listen to him think aloud for us, is an opportunity and a constantly renewed lesson. Let him explain to us why employment in our country is a big slow boat, let him lean concretely on the real condition of the minimum wage earners or on the possible ways of universal income, whether it addresses the theme of retirement or whether it tries to measure the economic and social impact of the Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) crisis, including on the way of to govern, the economist is never short of arguments and illustrations to embody his word, make it accessible and make us think by opening us unsuspected doors.”
