Romaric Godin is an economics journalist at Mediapart and author of La Guerre Sociale en France, a study of Emmanuel Macron’s authoritarian neoliberal policies.

But when he presents these ills just as a result of wrong choices, he ends up erasing the realities of class struggle — leaving him unable to explain how neoliberalism imposes its power.
