Jean-Pierre Fourcade, former Minister of Finance, recently suggested mobilizing the savings of the French to cover the public debt. Such a measure raises many questions, particularly on respect for private property and trust in economic institutions.

With public debt reaching record levels, governments are looking for quick solutions to contain the situation.
