Michel Gabrysiak's blog, Capitalism ? Yes, but for whom ?
Die virtuous, or participate in the worldwide shale gas boom, what's it going to be?

Farmers from the state of Dakota in the United States
who were just above the poverty line, now suddenly find themselves amongst the
middle classes, and this thanks to shale gas. 90 billion dollars have been
invested in its extraction and in the industries appearing around this
extraordinary resource. Hundreds and thousands of jobs. A quasi
energetic independence for the United States who until now, relied heavily on
imported gas and petrol. It's nothing short of a revolution.... Read more
From Annecy to global wealth or poverty?

Annecy in Savoie, not far from Geneva, on a day like any other. The shopping
centre is packed with people who are there to buy rather than just window shop.
They have money.
Inside the shops of Paris, London, Berlin, New York,
enormous crowds hustle and bustle. The 'Christmas Village' set up on the Champs
Elysées is constantly submerged by a dense crowd.
Airplanes are full,
as are trains, restaurants, cafés, public spaces.
And yet...
In
Greece, Spain, Po... Read more
The shareholder should be in for a long time, not a nanosecond

Does the shareholder support the company or exploit it?
How long must
one hold shares in a company before being able to cash in a result equivalent to
the risk taken?
In 1960, the average appropriation of listed shares
varied between eight and ten years. Today, it varies around a non second and 4
months.
Yet, a company's capital is supposed to allow them to develop
themselves, to create new products and sell them, to make profits which in turn... Read more
The markets are ready to go after France: about time to change the financing of health

The French are all but kissing one another in the street out of joy after the
announcements surrounding the measure of financial revamping made by the Prime
Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault.
I'm hardly exaggerating.
As Jean
Yanne used to say, " Everybody, he is happy!"
And yet, the measures in
question only represent a timid start, not to mention that they are delayed and
will not enable us to face the hurricane set off by the markets.

Nelson Pelz is at the helm. The lull at Danone is over!

Lyon is about to get shaken up. Pelz has arrived.
Sure, he's all
smiles for now. But soon it's going to be, 'no more Mr. Nice Guy'.
Nelson Pelz has just invested 310 million euros to acquire 1% of Danone's shares.
This is no game.
In his opinion, generally and specifically, the
company is badly managed, does not make its shareholders enough profit, does not
distribute enough and is undervaluated on the stock exchange.
Norman Pelz is used to getting rich... Read more

About me and the blog
As head, since the mid nineties of the Finance Foundation, Michel Gabrysiak,
has contributed to the consolidation of the European capital markets. He
witnessed the phenomenal boom of shadow banks -as opposed to genuine banks-
which have led us into the present financial mess.
As a journalist and writer he closely followed the ups and downs of finance and
economy since the beginning of the big boom of the early eighties.
He created financial and business board games. He had a family budget game
show on French television. On CNBC he presented a weekly talk show called
Capital Ideas, discussing financial topics with CEOs, Central Bankers,
regulators, politicians.
This blog is about democratic capitalism. Is it meant to benefit everyone or
just the tiny few, the oligarchs, the shadow finance operators. Are the middle
classes and the poor included in the creation of wealth or excluded from it ?
