Summary

From the reading notes of Michel Bauwens, 2005:

This is a critique of the reform proposals of Raffarin, the French Prime Minister in 2004, concerning the funding of pension plans. CV rejects both the Malthussian arguments that project a necessary crisis -- which could be averted by the growth of labor productivity, and renewed wealth redistribution, and the regressive utopia of the left which wants to return to Keynesianism and full employment. What is needed is rather a concept of full activity, which combines for 'chosen mobility', instead of imposed precarity, in the context of a secured socialized wage. It could be funded by a combination of 1) taxes on financial revenues; 2) employer contributions; 3) a greater contribution of the employer side to the totality of added value.
