France, according to Jonah Levy, is drifting aimlessly as its policymakers are unable to pursue the old model of state-led development yet appear unwilling to take on the vested interests that impede market-led reconstruction.

They argue that governments should bite the bullet and act purposively to foster an innovation culture based on: Only the state has the political resources to achieve this, but it is still unclear whether states are always up to the job. Nevertheless, if The Third Globalization has any impact in chipping away at the dogma that markets always know best then it will have done a fine job.
