Description

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian sits down with friend and advisor Pierre-Jean Esmieu-Fournel, a Paris-based financier whose life story and sharp analysis cut through the noise on Europe’s economic crisis. PJ shares his experience inside France’s welfare state including fully covered metastatic cancer treatment worth €320,000/year, and why the system is now at a breaking point, France's fiscal reality, and a political system in turmoil. He also discusses retirement ages, pension models, health-care tradeoffs, and demographic pressures hitting all three nations.
