To my students: Lean into skills AI amplifies, not ones it bulldozes. Frame good questions, scope problems, interpret messy data, apply judgment, explain clearly. The bot can autocomplete; you bring curiosity, context, and ethics.

On devrait avoir Arthur Mensch sur les plateaux pour nous expliquer comment la France peut devenir une puissance innovante au 21e siècle. Pas le Professeur Taxe du moment.

L’exil des milliardaires n’est pas le problème. Zucman répond à l’argument sur lequel il y a effectivement quelques études allant dans son sens.

Mais l’exil n’est des milliardaires issues d’entreprises créées il y a plus de 50 ans n’est pas le danger principal.

Notre problème c’est l’exil des gens susceptibles de devenir milliardaires. Et plus généralement de contribuer à l’émergence des grandes entreprises de demain. L’économie française dans sa composition sectorielle est héritée des années 1970. Le problème ce n’est pas la performance de nos entreprises de maroquinerie et d’aéronautique: tant mieux si elle tiennent le pays et profitent de la croissance de l’Asie.

Le problème c’est l’absence de nouveaux relais de croissance depuis 40 ans en France. Nous sommes peut-être au bord d’une nouvelle révolution industrielle. Beaucoup de français y contribuent—à l’étranger. Ce n’est pas une nouvelle taxe sur le patrimoine professionnel qui nous aidera à en faire partie.
