Stuff That Interests Me
The Mystery of America's Gold

Stuff That Interests Me

From this week's Moneyweek Magazine …Two rumours have been swirling around the gold markets for many years. Some have called them conspiracy theories. Others note that conspiracy theories often prove true. What's the difference between conspiracy and truth? About 30 years.The first is that China has far more gold than it says it does. We actually now know this to be true. The other is that America has far less than the 8,133 tonnes of gold it says it possesses.This rumour has been doing the rounds since 1971, when Peter Beter, a lawyer and financial adviser to former president John F. Kennedy, said he had been informed that gold in Fort Knox had been removed. He went on to write a best-selling book about it: The Conspiracy Against the Dollar.The problem is a total lack of transparency on the part of the US authorities, something that according to current US president Donald Trump, and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, will not be the case for much longer.Roosevelt triggers a boomBut to understand this situation we need to go back in time, all the way to 1933, when US president Franklin D. Roosevelt famously devalued the US dollar and revalued gold upwards by 70%, from $20 an ounce (oz) to $35/oz, in order to bolster growth. US gold reserves would increase to unprecedented levels in the next 15 years.Some of the gold came from US citizens. It was now illegal for them to own gold and they had to hand any they owned over to the authorities. Some came from the fact that the government then bought all US mined supply (the upwards revaluation of gold triggered a mining boom) and any gold imported to the US assay office. The US even began buying gold on foreign markets to protect the new higher price.Thus US official holdings in 1939 on the eve of World War II totalled 15,679 tonnes. They would only increase. With Nazi invasions, European nations sent all the gold they could across the Atlantic, either for safekeeping or to buy essential supplies; 1949 saw the high watermark of US gold holdings – 22,000 tonnes, as much as half of all the gold ever mined.In July 1944, with it clear that the Allies were going to win the war, representatives from the 44 Allied nations met at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods for the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference to design a new system of money for the new world order.International accounts would be settled in dollars, and those dollars were convertible to gold at $35/oz. Countries had to maintain exchange rates within 1% of the US dollar. In effect, the US was on a gold standard, and the rest of the world was on a dollar standard.The system relied on the integrity of the US dollar to work, and that integrity was in question, even before the end of the war. The June 1945 Federal Reserve Act reduced required gold reserves for notes outstanding from 40% to 25%, and against deposits from 35% to 25%. Between 1944 and 1954, because of increased supply, the dollar lost a third of its purchasing power, though the $35 Bretton Woods price remained.“Six major European countries,along with the UK, co-ordinated sales to suppress the gold price”US government spending was soaring, and it began running balance of payments deficits – made worse by the costs of foreign aid, America's new welfare systems and maintaining a military presence in Europe and Asia. Gold began leaving the US. By 1965 reserves had fallen by 9,500 tonnes, down 40% from the 1949 peak.Successive US administrations tried to stop the outflow, without success. Dwight D. Eisenhower banned Americans from buying gold overseas, Kennedy imposed the “equalisation tax” on foreign investments, and Lyndon B. Johnson discouraged Americans from travelling altogether. “We may need to forgo the pleasures of Europe for a while,” he said.Fears that the dollar would devalue following the election (won by Kennedy) sent the gold price in London to $40/oz. The Bank of England, in collusion with the Federal Reserve, began increasing gold sales to keep the price down.Thus did the London gold pool begin, with the addition of six major European nations the following year (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, West Germany, Italy and Switzerland), which co-ordinated sales to suppress, or “stabilise”, to use their word, the gold price and defuse unwanted, upward market pressure.But the pool struggled against growing demand. In 1965, an ounce of gold was still $35, but the purchasing power of the dollar had decreased by 57% from 1945, while gold reserves had also fallen sharply. The culprit was the costs of the US government, in particular the Vietnam War and president Johnson's enormous welfare spending.If you are buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times - and you should if you do not already own some - as always I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Bretton Woods under pressureWith inflation rising at home and international confidence in the dollar waning, these programmes were not just costly – they undermined Bretton Woods. Non-American nations felt aggrieved that they had to produce $100 worth of goods and services to get a $100 bill, when the US could just print one. French finance minister Valéry Giscard d'Estaing called it “America's exorbitant privilege”.President de Gaulle, meanwhile, had had enough. He ignored the pool to turn all French dollars and sterling balances into gold. The French even sent battleships to New York to collect their gold. De Gaulle became the target of several assassination attempts – coincidence, I'm sure. There were rather more US dollars in the world than there was gold to back them, he felt, and he was right.By 1967, US foreign liabilities were $36bn, but it only had $12bn in gold reserves – a third of what was needed to back the dollar. West Germany, Spain and Switzerland began demanding gold for their dollars. Even the British, with sterling going through one of its quadrennial collapses, asked the Americans to prepare $3bn worth of Fort Knox gold for withdrawal. Private gold demand was overwhelming.“The floor of the Bank of England's weighing room collapsed under the weight of all the bullion”In November 1967, the British government devalued the pound by 14%, from $2.80 to $2.40, in order to “achieve a substantial surplus on the balance of payments consistent with economic growth and full employment”.In that month, the London market saw greater bullion demand than it would typically see in nine: as much as 100 tonnes per day. To stem demand they banned forward buying, leverage and the purchase of gold with credit. The pool still lost 1,400 tonnes that year, more than a whole year's mined supply.Selling pressure on the US dollar only increased when the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam launched the first of a series of surprise attacks on US armed forces in South Vietnam in January 1968.Desperate to prop up the system, US military aircraft flew tonne after tonne of gold to RAF Lakenheath from where it was trucked in military convoys to the back entrance of the Bank of England: at one point the floor of the Bank of England's weighing room collapsed under the weight of all the gold.You really should subscribe to this amazing publication.Shoring up the systemIn the four days between 11 March and 14 March 1968, some 780 tonnes were sold to market. The effort to protect the price was deemed hopeless. On 15 March, UK chancellor Roy Jenkins declared a bank holiday, and the gold market was closed for a fortnight, “at the request of the United States”.Zurich also closed. Paris stayed open with gold trading at a 25% premium. All in all, the final 15 months saw over 3,000 tonnes sold to market to protect that $35 price. The pool had lost more than an eighth of its reserves.Two days later, in the rushed-through Washington Agreement, governors of the central banks in the gold pool declared there would be one fixed gold marketfor official government transactions at $35/oz and another, free-market, price for private transactions. Not for the last time, central bankers were living in a world of their own.Gold is one thing. Gold standards are another. They tend not to last, particularly bogus ones such as this one, under which citizens themselves did not handle gold. Keynes called them barbarous – ironic, perhaps, given that he was one of the architects of this one.In August 1971, president Nixon took the US off the gold standard, a “temporary” measure that remains more than 50 years later. For the first time in history, gold – Switzerland aside – played no part in the global monetary system.Of course it was the fault of the speculators. It always is. “I have directed the secretary of the Treasury to take the action necessary to defend the dollar against the speculators,” Nixon said, deflecting responsibility, and “to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold”.High time for a US gold auditThe US keeps its gold in four places: at Fort Knox, Kentucky (roughly 56% of its 8,133 tonnes); at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (8%); and the remaining 36% at the mints in Denver and West Point. There has not been a proper public audit of this gold since 1953. There have been internal audits, especially between 1974 and 1986, but these were not transparent.There are many people, among them gold experts, who do not believe the gold is there. The US spent it trying to suppress the gold price in the 1960s, theysay. But in this new age of American transparency, both Trump and Musk have repeatedly pledged that this gold will be audited.There is talk of it being done on a livestream. Trump has even suggested the gold has been stolen. “We're actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there,” he said, “because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tonnes of gold.”They've been making such light of it, one has to assume they know the gold is there. Musk was laughing about the conspiracies on podcasts, and he even posted a picture of a Fort Knox starter kit: a brick and some gold spray. I can't see how they would be joking if there were any serious doubts.Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, has said quite categorically that the gold is there. The last audit was in September 2024, he said in a recent Bloomberg interview, before looking down the camera and assuring the US people that “all the gold is present and accounted for”. But this would only have been an internal audit, and it would not have been a full audit.According to the US Mint, “the only gold removed has been very small quantities used to test the purity of gold during regularly scheduled audits”. No other gold has been transferred to or from the depository “for many years”. How long is many years, though? As far back as the 1960s?It's quite astonishing just how secretive the whole thing is. They opened the vaults for a congressional delegation and certain members of the press to view the gold in 1974. There were rumours swirling about then too. “We've never done this before and we'll probably never do it again,” said the then director of the US Mint Mary Brooks.“The gold commonly confiscated under Roosevelt contained some copper, and is not pure enough for sale”Then in 2017, during Trump's first administration, Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell were invited to view the gold. “The gold was there,” Mnuchin said. He is “sure” nobody's moved it. There are “serious security protocols in place”. But there are more than 4,000 tonnes in Fort Knox. A tonne would be about the size of a medium to large suitcase. Did he see all 4,000 of them?The other big issue is the purity of the gold. What is there might not all be of good delivery quality, meaning it would not be readily accepted in international bullion markets. If much of the gold is the bullion Roosevelt confiscated in the 1930s, it will be in the form of “coinmelt”: melted down coins.The commonly confiscated coins, such as the $20 double eagle, were only 90% pure and mixed with copper to make them harder. When melted down, they were not always properly refined to modern standards, while the bars they were melted into weighed 320-330 ounces, not the 400 oz bars of good delivery standard today. In practice, this means Fort Knox gold would not be accepted without additional processing.But, until a proper audit takes place, this is all speculation, albeit reasoned speculation. We don't know the full facts. The reasons given for not conducting a full audit are flimsy: we don't need to, it would be too much of an undertaking. Please!If the US gold turns out not to be there, then the gold price goes up – potentially a lot. If it is there, it's business as usual.For now, I'd say the markets are behaving as though it is business as usual. They are climbing, and every dip is being bought, largely, it seems, by central banks (especially in Asia), who are diversifying their holdings and de-dollarising. But this audit cannot come quickly enough.Large volumes of physical gold - over 1,000 tonnes by some counts - have recently been transferred from London to New York. One theory is that was the gold was transferred in anticipation of tariffs. Another is that it was the US buying ahead of its audit. We will soon find out.Finally, I would just like to debunk one theory doing the rounds. US gold is currently marked to market at $42/oz. After the audit, those 8,133 tonnes – assuming they are there and of good delivery quality – could be marked to market at current prices, meaning a significant uplift in the value of holdings.The theory doing the rounds is that Treasury ecretary Bessent will use some of the upwards revaluation to monetise the balance sheet – not unlike how Roosevelt did in 1933 – to create funds for, among other things, the strategic bitcoin reserve. But Bessent has quite clearly stated that is not his intention.This article first appeared in Moneyweek Magazine. This is a public episode.

Une vie de combats Après avoir vécu l'enfer à Auschwitz, elle devient la première femme à occuper certains postes politiques en France. Parmi ses combats gagnés : la légalisation de l'avortement en France. Porteuse du projet de loi sur l'IVG Après ses études, Simone se lance dans la politique et entre dans la magistrature en 1957. Elle est alors âgée de 30 ans. Elle devient haut fonctionnaire dans l'administration pénitentiaire et se bat pour améliorer le sort des détenus. En 1970, elle devient la première femme secrétaire générale du Conseil Supérieur de la magistrature. Cette ascension politique lui permet de devenir ministre de la Santé sous le gouvernement de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. C'est ce qui l'amène à être la porteuse au Parlement du projet de la loi sur l'intervention volontaire de grossesse qui dépénalise l'avortement. Jusque-là, avorter pour une raison non médicale était un délit, passible de prison.

TGV - tàu cao tốc Pháp : Hơn 40 năm giữ kỷ lục thế giới

TẠP CHÍ XÃ HỘI

Pháp sẵn sàng hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong xây dựng đường sắt cao tốc. Đây là lĩnh vực mà Pháp có thế mạnh và Việt Nam có kế hoạch thực hiện trong khuôn khổ dự án lên đến 67 tỷ đô la với tổng chiều dài toàn tuyến khoảng 1.541 km, tốc độ thiết kế 350 km/giờ. Hai nước đã ký Bản ghi nhớ hợp tác trong lĩnh vực Giao thông-Vận tải nhân nhân chuyến công du Pháp của tổng bí thư-chủ tịch nước Tô Lâm từ ngày 03-07/10/2024. Hệ thống đường sắt hiện nay ở Việt Nam được xây từ thời Pháp thuộc. Tuyến xe lửa đầu tiên “Sài Gòn-Mỹ Tho được khởi công tháng 11/1881 và đưa vào sử dụng từ ngày 20/07/1885” (*). 130 năm sau, Việt Nam vẫn sử dụng đường sắt khổ 1.000 mm có từ thời đó. Tuy nhiên, kế hoạch xây dựng đường sắt cao tốc, sử dụng khổ 1.435 mm sẽ làm thay đổi hoàn toàn phương tiện giao thông trọng điểm này và góp phần chống biến đổi khí hậu, mà Việt Nam là một trong những quốc gia không phải là đảo bị tác động nghiêm trọng.TGV Pháp giữ kỷ lục tốc độ hơn 40 nămCũng trong suốt gần 1,5 thế kỷ này, ngành đường sắt Pháp phát triển không ngừng và vẫn giữ kỷ lục về tốc độ tàu cao tốc TGV (train à grande vitesse). Thực ra, Nhật Bản là nước tiên phong về tàu cao tốc khi vận hành tàu Shinkansen đầu tiên ngày 01/10/1964 nối Osaka và Tokyo có tốc độ 210 km/giờ. Tại châu Âu, Đức và Ý cũng lao vào cuộc đua tốc độ. Các kĩ sư Pháp thì như ngồi trên lửa.Năm 1970, kĩ sư Jean Bertin có tầm nhìn xa đã thử nghiệm thành công phát minh Aérotrain - tàu hàng không - được khởi động đầu thập niên 1960 và được coi là “anh cả” của tàu TGV hiện nay. Tàu chạy dọc theo đường ray riêng (monorail, hình chữ “T” ngược). Nhờ được trang bị động cơ máy bay, Aérotrain như lướt trên đường và lập tốc độ kỷ lục thế giới 430 km/giờ khi chạy thử ở phía bắc Orléans, tỉnh Loiret.Kĩ sư Jean Bertin giải thích : “Toa tàu được các đệm khí hỗ trợ và dẫn đường. Những đệm khí này được tạo ra bởi những chiếc quạt chạy bằng động cơ có công suất rất lớn. Và một khi có được lực nâng này, đoàn tàu có thể di chuyển với tốc độ xấp xỉ tốc độ mà chúng tôi mong muốn”.Năm 1974, công ty của Jean Bertin ký hợp đồng đầu tiên với chính phủ Pháp nối hai thành phố Cergy và La Défense, ở ngoại ô Paris. Nhưng chỉ một tháng sau, tổng thống mới Valéry Giscard d'Estaing hủy hợp đồng được ký dưới thời người tiền nhiệm Georges Pompidou vì chi phí quá cao. Trong chương trình “Những câu chuyện thế kỷ của bản tin thời sự 19/20 giờ” ngày 28/12/1999, đài truyền hình France 3 Orléans giải thích về “thất bại bị lãng quên” của Aérotrain :“Giấc mơ Aérotrain sớm vấp phải thực tế : chi phí quá cao, các vấn đề về cơ sở hạ tầng nhưng trên hết là sự cạnh tranh trực tiếp từ tàu cao tốc TGV. Chính phủ đã chọn đầu tư vào TGV, được coi là thực tế hơn và ít rủi ro hơn. Năm 1977, sau nhiều năm thử nghiệm và hy vọng không trọn vẹn, cuộc phiêu lưu của Aérotrain chấm dứt”. Kĩ sư Jean Bertin qua đời một năm sau đó vì ung thư.Để tiếp tục cuộc đua với Nhật Bản, công ty đường sắt quốc gia Pháp SNCF đặt cược vào Turbotrain, một công nghệ cũng được nhiều nước sử dụng. Mỗi động cơ được trang bị hai tua bin chạy bằng khí đốt. Thế nhưng người anh thứ hai của TGV hiện nay cũng bị cuộc khủng hoảng năng lượng năm 1973 quật ngã. Tuy nhiên, thành công của Turbotrain đã mở đường cho những nghiên cứu về tàu chạy bằng điện, hiện đại hơn, sang trọng hơn để có thể cạnh tranh với những phương tiện mới, như máy bay, ô tô... nhanh hơn, tiện lợi hơn, không ngừng bùng nổ sau Thế Chiến II. Các kĩ sư của SNCF muốn biến TGV như “sấm trời” (tonnerre de Dieu), theo giải thích của nhà sử học Clive Lamming, chuyên về lịch sử đường sắt, với trang Le Monde ngày 20/04/2018 :“Một số kỹ sư đam mê tốc độ ở SNCF đã thực hiện một thử nghiệm vào năm 1955 với tốc độ 331 km/giờ ở Landes. Thử nghiệm thành công và chứng minh rằng tàu có thể chạy nhanh và cũng sẽ cứu được ngành đường sắt ở Pháp. Tàu cao tốc sẽ giúp khôi phục lại hình ảnh của “thương hiệu” SNCF nhờ sự giúp đỡ của những người bạn “tuyệt vời” - những nước sản xuất dầu mỏ đã tăng giá dầu lên gấp 4 lần vào 1973. Nhưng con tàu không cần dầu bởi vì đã có “than trắng” - tức là điện hạt nhân - được tướng De Gaulle quyết định phát triển sau Thế Chiến II. Ngành đường sắt tiêu thụ điện quốc gia. Đường sắt bỏ than để sử dụng điện”.Theo trang web SNCF, nhà thiết kế Jacques Cooper là người phác thảo các đặc điểm của con tàu tương lai trong “dự án C03”, lấy cảm hứng từ xe Porsche Murène. Ngoài tốc độ cao mà nguyên mẫu này có thể đạt tới, cải tiến lớn nhất là khái niệm về đoàn tàu “có khớp nối” và không thể biến dạng… Sau này, những lựa chọn đó khiến TGV trở thành con tàu an toàn nhất thế giới. TGV cũng được sơn đúng màu da cam như xe Porsche Murène.Hai đoàn tàu TGV đầu tiên được Nhà nước đặt hàng năm 1975. Các cuộc thử nghiệm hoàn tất năm 1978. Ngày 26/02/1981, TGV phá vỡ kỷ lục thế giới với vận tốc 380 km/giờ. Bẩy tháng sau, đích thân tổng thống François Mitterand khánh thành tuyến đường sắt cao tốc đầu tiên tại Pháp nối Paris-Lyon vào ngày 22/09/1981. Con tàu đạt vận tốc 260 km/giờ như dự kiến.Lần thứ hai TGV phá kỷ lục thế giới về vận tốc đường sắt là vào ngày 18/05/1990. Chuyến TGV 325 đạt đến vận tốc 515,3 km/giờ ở gần ga Vendôme nằm trên tuyến đường sắt cao tốc thứ hai - TGV Atlantique - được đưa vào hoạt động tháng 09/1989.Cho dù từ năm 2003, Maglev - một mô hình nâng từ trường của Nhật Bản - giữ kỷ lục vận tốc tuyệt đối là 581,2 km/giờ. Nhưng chính TGV của Pháp một lần nữa lại phá vỡ kỷ lục thế giới trên đường ray. Ngày 03/04/2007, tàu V150 của Alstom đã đạt vận tốc 574,8 km/giờ sau 42 lần thử trong sáu tuần (bắt đầu từ ngày 15/01/2007) trên tuyến Strasbourg-Paris. Kỷ lục này vượt xa mục tiêu 540 km/giờ được đặt ra ban đầu (V150 : tốc độ 150 mét/giây, tức là 540 km/giờ). Tuy nhiên, theo Le Monde ngày 03/04/2007, vì lý do hao mòn và bảo trì đường sắt, Mạng lưới đường sắt Pháp (RFF, cơ quan quản lý hạ tầng đường sắt được tách khỏi tập đoàn SNCF từ 1997-2015) không cho phép công ty SNCF vượt quá quy định 300 km/giờ, riêng tuyến TGV Est (Paris-Strasbourg) được phép lên tới 320 km/giờ.TGV “thu nhỏ” nước Pháp, “phá vỡ” biên giới châu ÂuTrả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 28/05/2021, kỹ sư Tạ Quang Anh, công tác tại SNCF nhận định : “Sự ra đời của TGV mở đầu một giai đoạn phát triển đột phá mới của ngành đường sắt Pháp. Khác với giai đoạn đột phá về hạ tầng nửa cuối thế kỷ 19, TGV đã “thu nhỏ” nước Pháp và thậm chí châu Âu trong bán kính 3-4 giờ đi lại. Trong giai đoạn 1990-2010, nhiều tuyến TGV trong nước được khánh thành, tiếp theo là các tuyến quốc tế, đáng chú ý là tuyến Eurostar chạy qua 50 km đường hầm eo biển Manche sang Anh Quốc (1994), tuyến Thalys đi sang Bỉ và Hà Lan…Trong khoảng 30 năm cuối thế kỷ 20, việc vận hành tuyệt đối an toàn 400 nghìn tấn thép trên đường ray ở vận tốc 320 km/giờ luôn là một biểu tượng công nghệ trong ngành vận tải hành khách mặt đất. Công nghệ TGV được xuất khẩu, chuyển giao ra nhiều nước : ở châu Âu như sang Tây Ban Nha, sang Hoa Kỳ, Maroc và cả Hàn Quốc. Đối với người Pháp, TGV là một “niềm tự hào dân tộc”. Theo một thăm dò dư luận trong dân chúng Pháp, TGV được coi là một trong những phát minh quan trọng nhất trong thế kỷ 20, cùng với máy tính, điện thoại di động và lò vi sóng”. Đọc thêm : Đường sắt Pháp, câu chuyện về tầm nhìn và sự sáng tạoTừ ngày 16/12/2024, hai thủ đô Berlin của Đức và Paris của Pháp đã được nối bằng tàu cao tốc trong 8 tiếng. Tham vọng trong năm 2025 của tập đoàn SNCF là đưa vào hoạt động tàu cao tốc sinh thái - TGV M (modulable) - được coi là sự tập trung của nhiều đổi mới : tái chế đến 97%, có khả năng điều chỉnh việc sử dụng năng lượng trên tàu, 100% kết nối... Loại tàu thế hệ thứ 5 này do tập đoàn Alstom phát triển, được cho là sẽ giảm mức tiêu thụ năng lượng 20% ​​và cải thiện lượng khí thải carbon thêm 37% mỗi năm so với các đoàn tàu hiện tại. 115 đoàn tàu được đặt hàng (trong đó có 15 theo phiên bản quốc tế) sẽ lần lượt được đưa vào lưu thông trong vòng 10 năm. Do kinh phí rất lớn nên tàu cao tốc không phổ biến trên quy mô thế giới. Ngoài phải cạnh tranh với Shinkansen của Nhật Bản, TGV của Pháp chật vật đối phó với Trung Quốc, cường quốc tàu cao tốc với hơn 40.000 km đường sắt cao tốc, rộng nhất thế giới. Ngay sau khi Việt Nam có dự án huyết mạch Bắc-Nam trị giá 67 tỷ đô la, hai tập đoàn lớn của Trung Quốc - Tập đoàn xây dựng giao thông Trung Quốc (CCCC) và Tập đoàn Xây dựng công trình đường sắt Trung Quốc (CRCC) - cùng ngỏ ý tham gia.(*) Hoàng Thị Hiền, “Hệ thống đường sắt ở Nam Kỳ thời Pháp thuộc”, Xưa Nay, số 436 tháng 09/2013.

C dans l'air du 27 décembre - Déficit, entreprises, impôts... la grande inquiétude"Je sais la difficulté de la tâche". C'est par ses mots qu'Eric Lombard a entamé lundi son mandat de nouveau ministre de l'Économie après avoir été nommé par François Bayrou. Même si son profil de technicien a été bien reçu par les milieux économique et politique, la tâche s'annonce compliquée pour l'ancien président de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations et quasi novice en politique. Celui qu'on décrit comme un banquier de gauche, a la lourde responsabilité de construire un budget d'ici la fin du mois de février sous la pression du RN qui n'a pas hésité à censurer le dernier gouvernement. La tension n'a jamais été aussi forte en France, alors que la dette française atteint un pic de 3 303 milliards d'euros au troisième trimestre. De son côté, le chômage a augmenté de 1,4 % en novembre et devrait continuer à suivre cette trajectoire sur les prochains mois, selon l'Insee. Pour une fois unis, les syndicats des travailleurs et du patronat ont pressé ces derniers jours le Premier ministre de "trouver des compromis" et exhorté à la "stabilité", notamment fiscale. Eric Lombard saura-t-il trouver la méthode ? Lui dit vouloir s'appuyer sur "l'écoute, le dialogue et la recherche de solutions partagées".Pour l'instant, on ne peut pas dire que le milieu du BTP soit rassuré par ce gouvernement. Le secteur est paralysé par l'incertitude sur le futur budget. Cette année, seulement 250 000 logements sont sortis de terre en France, du jamais vu depuis les années 1950. Sur 12 mois, la baisse des mises en chantier atteint 28,6 % en maison individuelle et 21,3 % en logement collectif. En cause notamment, un moindre accès au crédit pour les ménages et une augmentation des coûts de production. Dans un communiqué publié en début de semaine, le président de la Fédération française du bâtiment Olivier Salleron a demandé à ce que "le nouveau gouvernement s'engage urgemment à prendre des mesures décisives pour lutter contre la crise violente de la construction qui met en péril la France ainsi que les finances publiques". Maigre bonne nouvelle pour le milieu : les ministres Valérie Létard, au Logement, et Agnès Pannier-Runacher, à la Transition écologique, restent à leur poste.Eric Lombard a donc la lourde tâche de mettre sur la table un budget qui permettra de réduire le déficit à 6,1% du PIB affiché par la France. Une tâche éminemment compliquée lorsqu'on sait que la France n'a pas fini une année à l'équilibre depuis 50 ans. C'est sous Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, en 1974, que la France termine pour la dernière fois avec un solde budgétaire positif de 8,5 milliards de francs (environ 6,7 milliards d'euros). C dans l'air est allé rencontrer Jean-Pierre Fourcade, dernier ministre des Finances français à avoir présenté et exécuté un budget à l'équilibre.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 6 décembre avec Elizabeth Martichoux, éditorialiste politique, et auteure avec Catherine Mangin de "L'art de perdre en politique", aux éditions Stock. La défaite fait partie de la politique, et les héros sont souvent les beaux perdants. Mais qu'est-ce qu'un beau perdant ? Et qu'est-ce qu'un mauvais perdant en politique ? Du célèbre "Au revoir" de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing en 1981 - une mise en scène restée culte - aux récents échecs électoraux du clan Macron, des défaites de Valls, de Ségolène Royal ou de Nicolas Sarkozy, à celles de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, que reste-t-il des déroutes des politiques, souvent décrits comme des conquérants ?Elizabeth Martichoux et Catherine Mangin retracent ces parcours, faits de hauts et de bas, et vont à la rencontre des acteurs et témoins de grands moments de la vie politique. Jacques Chirac a mis 30 ans à conquérir le pouvoir, et a perdu deux présidentielles, ce qui a forgé son caractère, et aiguisé sa pratique de la politique. "C'est vrai que ce qu'on ne sait pas, c'est qu'en politique on perd plus qu'on ne gagne", affirme Elizabeth Martichoux. Alors comment tirer bénéfice de ses échecs dans un pays qui n'aime pas la défaite ? C'est là-dedans que réside "L'Art de perdre en politique". Elizabeth Martichoux, éditorialiste politique, et auteure avec Catherine Mangin de "L'art de perdre en politique", aux éditions Stock, analysera avec nous la crise politique actuelle. Michel Barnier, défait par une motion de censure cette semaine, fait-il un bon perdant ? Et peut-on analyser cette semaine comme victorieuse pour de Marine Le Pen, elle qui a déclaré qu'elle ne considérait pas le vote de la censure comme "une victoire".

Nous avons exploré son parcours inspirant, de la création de Woman Up, une entreprise dédiée à promouvoir le sport féminin et l'égalité, à son engagement pour le Deauville Sport Doc Festival, un événement unique célébrant les documentaires sportifs. Roland partage sa vision d'un monde où le sport est un vecteur de changement social, mettant en lumière les défis et les succès des femmes dans le sport. Il évoque également son expérience personnelle en Amérique latine, où il a appris l'humilité et la joie de vivre. Ensemble, nous discutons de l'importance du sport comme outil de partage et de connexion, et de son potentiel pour transformer les perceptions et promouvoir l'inclusion. Un échange riche en perspectives et en passion pour un avenir plus équitable dans le sport.

Cela faisait longtemps que j'en rêvais sans trop y croire. Car Anne Méaux n'est pas du genre à parler d'elle ou à donner des leçons, très discrète et pourtant omniprésente dans le milieu de la communication, la fondatrice et directrice d'Image Sept se fait rare dans les médias. C'est donc un grand honneur et une immense fierté que de la recevoir pour cet épisode de Génération Do It Yourself. “Plus tu as de chance, plus tu as de devoirs" Anne Méaux, c'est une force de la nature. Bachelière à 16 ans, diplômée de Sciences Po à 19 ans, élue municipale, conseillère de Valery Giscard D'Estaing, et PDG à 34 de sa propre entreprise, Image Sept. Anne Méaux connaît aussi bien les recoins de l'Elysée que les bureaux des plus grandes entreprises. “Il y a des mots qui comptent pour moi : liberté, indépendance et courage” Cette passionnée des langues anciennes et de philosophie, qui cite Corneille au détour de la conversation, ne s'était pourtant pas imaginée entrepreneur et encore moins dans le secteur de la communication. C'est presque par hasard qu'elle tombe dans la marmite. Elle se révèle excellente. La preuve ? Elle n'a jamais eu besoin de démarcher un seul client de sa vie ! “Je ne sais pas ce qu'est la comm'. Moi ce qui m'intéresse c'est de comprendre la situation, de l'analyser pour trouver la bonne solution et la réaliser”. Que ce soit quand il s'agit de conseiller le Président Giscard ou le patron de Pernod Ricard, celle qui vient de fêter ses 65 ans distille conseils et suggestions plus vite que l'éclair. Ensemble on parle de son parcours, de la vie, du temps, des napoléons et même de comment elle taquinait VGE à l'Assemblée nationale ! Un vrai délice ! On a cité avec Anne plusieurs anciens épisodes de GDIY : #36 Laurence Fischer – La championne du monde de Karaté qui défend les femmes #72 Philippe Gabilliet - L'art de provoquer sa chance #87 Mikael Aubertin – Good Goût – Séduire les consommateurs les plus difficiles : les bébés Anne vous recommande de lire : Le mythe de Sisyphe, Noces et L'été — en fait n'importe quel Camus La civilisation du poisson Rouge : petit traité du marché de l'attention de Bruno Patino Le lambeau de Philippe Lançon La part d'ange en nous de Steven Pinker Si vous avez apprécié cet épisode, laissez un commentaire sur nos posts LinkedIn ou Instagram.
