What were the development paths of France after de Gaulle?

After the departure of de Gaulle, not the best of times came for France. And in France, there were objective problems that the entire Western civilization had to face in the first half of the 1970s.

The initial impulse was given to them by the economic crisis of 1974. The sharp deterioration of the situation in the economy affected the standard of living of the majority of the French. Gaullist methods of solving problems no longer gave the desired effect. The situation was aggravated by the fact that in April 1974 French President J. Pompidou, de Gaulle's successor, unexpectedly died.

During the next elections, Giscard de Estaing, the head of the independent Republicans, won. The new president declared that his goal was to build an "advanced liberal society" in France. In accordance with this attitude, the emphasis was increasingly shifted to market methods of management. But the implementation of drastic monetary measures in a country with strong left-wing traditions could destabilize the situation. Therefore, in France, the transition to a post-industrial society was carried out not without elements of social maneuvering.

No less significant progress has been made in the sphere of foreign policy. In contrast to de Gaulle, the new president immediately began to improve relations with the United States and strengthen "Atlantic solidarity." French troops began to participate regularly in NATO exercises. The new president was also an ardent supporter of integration trends in Europe.

But in May 1981, during the presidential elections, the voters gave preference to the candidate of the left forces. For the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, the socialist F. Mitterrand became president.

The transfer of power into the hands of the socialists meant a new turn in the development of the country's political system. The socialists did not begin to ignore the general trends in the development of the country, to revise the Constitution of the Fifth Republic. But they offered their own scenario for solving urgent problems. The socialists again returned to the practice of state regulation of the economy. Already in 1981, intensive nationalization of institutions and industries began. As a result, France has become the largest country in the West in terms of the size of the public sector in the economy. Reforms were carried out in the credit and tax area, the social sphere.

The restoration of the course towards the development of a socially oriented market economy led to the flight of capital from the country, the depreciation of the French currency, and an increase in inflation. Under these conditions, the socialists found themselves in a dilemma: either continue their attack on big capital, or slow down the reforms. The first path threatened with a sharp polarization of society. F. Mitterrand chose the second way. Already in 1983, a transition to a policy of austerity was announced. The "conservative wave", however, with some delay, began its run in France.

In this situation, the next elections were held in 1986. They ended with the defeat of the socialists. The right-wing forces got the opportunity to form a new government headed by J. Chirac.

Such sharp zigzags in the political development of France had a painful effect on the economic life of the country. J. Chirac dramatically changed the economic course: forced denationalization of state property began in the country, tax and credit policies became tougher. But these measures did not produce tangible results, as in England and the USA. This was actively used by the socialists led by F. Mitterrand. In the new elections, he managed to win again, but already at this stage the president did not conduct any social experiments. But even this did not allow France to fit into the post-industrial era. It was more difficult for the socialists to stay on the political stage. True, this time the right-wing forces, which controlled both the government and parliament, managed to reverse the economic situation. The government of E. Balladur managed to achieve tangible results: inflation was brought down, industrial production growth rates increased, and unemployment was reduced. In the presidential elections of 1995, the right-wing forces put an end to the country's political process. They won the elections, J. Chirac became the president of the country again.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

FUJITSU develops RFID chip with FRAM memory 29.08.2005

Fujitsu has announced the FerVID MB89R119 chip, designed for use in increasingly popular wireless identification (RFID) systems.

The main difference between the new development and existing implementations is the use of ferroelectric memory (FRAM). Its volume is quite small - only 256 bytes, but this is quite enough for identification tasks. Compared to the EEPROM type memory commonly used in such chips, FRAM has an advantage in read speed up to 50 times, and in write speed - twice.

In addition, the use of FRAM eliminates the need for the burn circuits required in EEPROM, which reduces the area occupied on the substrate. The MB8 9R119 chip is manufactured using a 0,35 micron process, operates at a frequency of 13,56 MHz, has a range of 70 cm, and a bandwidth of 26,48 Kbps.

Samples are available now at a price of $0,46, mass production will begin on August 1, and the planned output is 5 million units per month.
