Abstract: Before the pandemic, France's public debt was considered excessive by the standards set by the European Union and the euro zone. Today, the States are facing an economic crisis that only the public authorities can contain, at least in the short term. The Arthuis Commission is proposing to control public debt and return to debt reduction by the end of this decade. However, the economic stakes go beyond the crisis caused by the pandemic. It is also a question of preparing a different society, one that is less unequal and capable of engaging in sustainable economic development in the face of global warming. The concern is more about the excesses of international financial speculation, growing social inequalities and living conditions on Earth, which threaten the economic and social future of new generations much more than public debt.
