A promising title, most disappointing content

Change model: what a great program for our country. How not to be seduced by the title of the book? The authors and publishers have found a "saleswoman" formula that attracts a large number of readers. Because that is a model of change that this country needs to get out of its lethargy and decline.
Having finished reading the book, it is however a little disappointed. Certainly, there are some good ideas and is worth reading. But the book is certainly not up to expectations as its title left consider.

Faults of the book are many.
It remains too general ideas in surplus and general ideas in macroeconomics.
It means two defects: a lack of depth and pragmatism and a generally reduced vision to macroeconomic policy without global model change proposal.

1. Lack of depth and pragmatism

The book remains at the level of generalities. It sets out what should be done according to its authors, but never said how. There is in this book a general tendency to "nyaquisme" There are only, which came to nothing. What reports have already suggested in part what is proposed here and have not worked. Why? Because it is not enough to state what should be done but we have to ask how. The authors propose to abolish the pensions, eg numerus clusus certain professions. They target jumble taxis, pharmacists, opticians, etc. But as stated, this principle is doomed to failure. All these people have bought the right to exercise their profession, often by going into debt. It is unrealistic to proclaim that there is only delete their benefits overnight. One must ask how to make these reforms possible. Thereupon, not a word. One is even more worried when the book goes a little into detail because often what he says is technically wrong. Take the few legal examples in the book. They are all technically wrong: Hamon law is being hailed as a panacea when it is a text pami most dirigiste which was enacted several years that emphasizes administered economy to the detriment of the market economy ; the group action is presented as a tremendous step forward for the benefit of consumers when a concrete legal analysis shows that this is a gas plant, very limited in scope, also totally contrary to the principle of non -discrimination between Europeans (since it is reserved for French associations approved by the State) and organized in a completely inefficient, litigation is dispersed between 160 unskilled GI: in competition law, the stack of decisions necessary to achieve a final determination of compensation will be between 15 and 20 years. One can say anything, except that it will be an effective procedure. Other error: it speaks of the credit Incident file while it is not part of the text of the law in force since the Constitutional Council invalidated.

2. Reflections limited to macroeconomic economic policy without deep reflection on the causes of the crisis of the French model

It was announced a paradigm shift, but it is only lessons on the importance of supply-side economics, with many compliments shelled throughout the book for the Dutch government's economic policy.
But the new model involves having a much more comprehensive vision of society. It's almost as if before the revolution of 1789, it had only said that to pass from the Old to the new regime, economic reforms of Turgot would have been sufficient.

So in total, even if his reading is useful, this book is not up to the high expectations of its title.
