New York, the most populous urbanised area in the world in the early 1920s, started to decline when its budget and economy were burdened with military and social spendings. Jacques Attali explains the city's economic development from 1929 to 1980.
On FRANCE 24, Jacques Attali presents 15 episodes of "Lessons for the Future.” Airing Tuesdays at 6:55pm and Mondays at 6:10pm in Arabic, Paris time (GMT +1), the programme takes the form of three-minute “chapters” that trace 2,000 years of economic history. The programme is inspired by Attali’s best-seller "Lessons for the Future" ("Leçons pour l’avenir", Fayard 2006).
