Abstract: Abstract The chapter discusses the economic policies that have been implemented in France to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. By examining some emerging contradictions within interventionist policies, we will argue that doctrines about state intervention took a 180-degree turn during the crisis. The first section contains an overview of the main economic trends in the French economy. The second discusses the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of instability and unrest in France. A discussion confronting orthodox and heterodox approaches to the main economic and social measures implemented, and the reasons for these, is offered here. Despite the shift in the Macron doctrine observed during the pandemic, the economic and environmental issues still seem to us to be insufficiently taken into account.
