Primary Evidence

"“The steel industry died from not respecting this rule. Jacques Ferry (president of the trade chamber from 1964 to 1979) should never have been able to take the place and responsibilities of the steel industry bosses. It was an enormous risk for the bosses to hand over control. The responsibility of the steel industry was no longer within the steel industry. And it is wrong to believe in a mixed economy. Thinking that the State can get involved in affairs that are not its competence is absurd.”"
