Le choix du chômage #[nn]

A sobering and thought-provoking work from Benoît Collombat and Damien Cuvillier, Le Choix du Chômage frames its investigation through a striking cover image: a room full of suited figures gathered around a table beneath French and European flags, rendered in moody grayscale that lends the scene an air of closed-door decision-making. The subtitle — "De Pompidou à Macron, enquête sur les racines de la violence économique" — signals an ambitious historical sweep through decades of French economic policy. Published by Futuropolis in 2021 with a preface by filmmaker Ken Loach, this is the kind of engaged, documentary-style bande dessinée that takes journalism seriously as an art form.
