More about the book

The book explores the shift in France's political landscape at the turn of the millennium, comparing contemporary scandals to historical ones like the Dreyfus and Panama affairs. The author argues that while corruption persists, it now elicits resignation rather than outrage, reflecting a transformation in societal values. Individualism has emerged as a dominant force, leading people to prioritize personal dignity over collective loyalty to the state. This shift is seen as diluting the mystique and unity of France as a nation-state.
