Book signing with Jonas Haddad for his book *C’est Nicolas qui paye*

Pensions, debt, housing: it’s always the same people who foot the bill.
Nicolas could be your son, your colleague… or even you. He works, he pays his contributions, he pays his way. And yet, he is finding it increasingly difficult to find a place to live, to start a family or simply to live a better life than his parents. On social media, one sentence summed up this unease: “It’s Nicolas who’s footing the bill.” But where does all this money actually go? Jonas Haddad, a lawyer at the Rouen Bar, vice-president of the Normandy Region and spokesperson for Les Républicains, investigates and lays bare the full extent of the bill.
Taxation, pensions, social security, immigration… Drawing exclusively on official figures, he reveals a reality that no one wants to face: the burden still falls on the same people, whilst a generation sees the promises made to their parents’ generation slipping away. But this book does not call for a generational war…
Business succession, the end of special pension schemes, the development of funded pension schemes, and adapting to the artificial intelligence revolution: Jonas Haddad proposes rebuilding a model in which working, entrepreneurship and passing on a business once again enable people to build their own futures. The generational divide is beginning to form. There is still time to avoid it.
