What happens when a government promises more than it can afford—and voters reject the changes needed to sustain it? Ravi examines France’s unrest, tracing the tensions between student demands, rising debt, and pension obligations that crowd out spending on public services. He explores how political leaders respond to rioting and looting, why Marine Le Pen stands to benefit, and what the turmoil reveals about Europe’s weakening political center. He also considers the parallels facing the United States, from growing retirement costs to public systems that spend more without delivering better results.
