Les quarante années qui ont défait la France. Ce livre est paru initialement en 2014. "La France se couche. La France se meurt. La France avait pris l'habitude depuis le XVIIe siècle et, plus encore, depuis la Révolution française, d'imposer ses idées, ses foucades mêmes, sa vision du monde et sa langue, à un univers pâmé devant tant de merveilles.
