What he offers you

Jacques believes that there will be an economic realignment, as the crisis has shown, the economy that has value is one that protects our life such as health, hygiene, clean energy and innovation. He believes that the international community is entering a "war economy" that will last for a long time, and that resources should be distributed to correspond to this new context.
