97. Macron, European Sovereignty, and Reflections on a Philosopher President

Is French President Macron serious about bringing justice to France and independence to Europe? And what is the surprising link between Macron, European philosophy and the Burning Archive?

On this episode I discuss:

- President Emmanuel Macron's major speeches on reconciling social conflict, pension reforms, democracy and European independence or 'sovereign autonomy';

- whether French-US relations since World War II and Macron's track record of speeches on European independence suggest France is serious about taking Europe on an independent path in the multipolar world; and

- the surprising connection between Macron's philosophical master and the Burning Archive.
