At the end of the experiment, Carle took out a bank loan to buy new furniture and clothes. A special “auditor” declared him 96.9% “made in France” and Montebourg visited to present him with a medal. Carle’s conclusion: “It’s not entirely possible or even desirable to live 100% ‘made in France,’ particularly in terms of new technology.” But that wasn’t the point. “This wasn’t about French nationalism or patriotism. It was trying to show that we should reflect about the way we buy and make different choices, and that applies in all countries. If we want to save jobs and industries, wherever we are, we might think about supporting them.”
