About This Quote
The French political class has been relentlessly myopic, if not completely blind, about the concerns of those who work and mine and farm. They have felt so incredibly comfortable in their power that they have not understood the anger of the working class. To cite Eugene Weber, "One thing that we learn from history is that people seldom learn from history." The French government has forgotten how it feels to be powerless, to have no control over your life or your family or your future.
