In this interview with Arnaud Teyssier, Alain Supiot shows that there is a French social model (in the " braudelien " sense), whose philosophical and anthropological underpinnings are all too often overlooked, and whose specific character in comparison, for example, with the English model (marked by the omnipotence of the individual) or the German model (omnipotence of society). This French model, inspired by a " moral and social idealism ", that of political equality, recalls Alain Supiot, was compromised by the " wage subordination " which, in turn, led the State to intervene to establish a " social citizenship that extends political citizenship ".
