The divide between the global economy's winners and losers in today's France has replaced the old left-right split, leaving many on "the periphery." As Guilluy shows, there is no unified French economy, and those cut off from the country's new economic citadels suffer disproportionately on both economic and social fronts. In Guilluy's analysis, the lip service paid to the idea of an "open society" has emerged in France as a smoke screen meant to hide the emergence of a closed society, walled off for the benefit of the upper classes. The ruling classes in France are reaching a dangerous stage, he argues; without the stability of a growing economy, the hope for those excluded from growth is extinguished, undermining the legitimacy of a multicultural nation. 606 $aSocial classes$zFrance$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSocial stratification$zFrance$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWorking class$zFrance$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y1995- 607 $aFrance$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory 615 0$aSocial stratification$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 676 $a305.50944 700 $aGuilluy$b Christophe$01549896 702 $aDeBevoise$b M.
