In Hollande’s case, the rare glimpses of a comprehensive vision recall France’s successful social democracy of the 1960’s: a strong welfare state, together with abundant public investment to revive economic growth and boost employment. Hollande’s reference point seems to be the post-war idyll of his youth, a time of rapid growth, demographic recovery, scarce immigration, and scant global competition.
而如果说到奥朗德的全面远景规划，粗看之下会令人想起1960年代法国成功的社会民主制度：一个强大的福利国家，拥有充足的公共投资去复苏增长并推动就业。奥朗德的参照点似乎是他年轻时那种二战后的田园牧歌，一个飞速增长的时代，人口年龄分布恢复到合理水平，没什么移民，也缺乏全球竞争。
