Francophone Folly

This is an interesting, recently published article that attempts to refute the french model of racial organization. What I find most compelling about the article is at the end where Dogoui says, "We are consumers, not decision makers."
In economic theory the only decisions that matter are those involving consumption. By deciding what to consume individuals drive the destinies of nations. Dogoui might not see how he drives this process (and yes with or without his decisions the processes are little changed) but in the aggregate those decisions impact his life and the lives of those around him very much.
