At the end of the experiment, Carle bought new furniture and clothes. A special “auditor” said Carle was 96.9% “made in France” and Montebourg gave him a medal. Carle’s conclusion: “It’s not entirely possible to live 100% ‘made in France,’ particularly in terms of new technology.” “This wasn’t about French nationalism or patriotism. It was trying to show that we should think about the way we buy and make different choices, and that is the same in all countries. If we want to save jobs and industries, we should support them.”
What was the experiment trying to show, according to Carle?
That people everywhere should put thought into how they purchase goods That nationalism and patriotism are bad That Carle became 96.9% “made in France” That French products are too expensive
