I investigate the ideological profile of France’s 100 bestselling economics books listed by FNAC (a leading French bookseller) at the end of 2024. Despite France’s persistent economic stagnation, public discourse remains firmly committed to state-led economic governance, with little exposure to liberal or market-oriented alternatives. The article introduces a typology for classifying economic bestsellers into seven categories based on thematic content, political orientation, and institutional affiliation. The investigation reveals a significant asymmetry: Anti-liberal and interventionist works outnumber liberal and pro-market ones by a factor of four, and most textbooks reflect a Keynesian or statist consensus. Furthermore, liberal perspectives are almost entirely absent from contemporary French authorship, showing a generational void in liberal economic thought. In contrast, anti-liberal narratives are supported by young, institutionally embedded intellectuals and often blend economic critique with themes of “social justice” and environmentalism. The imbalance is not merely a reflection of reader preference but a symptom of deeper institutional, educational, and media dynamics that systematically exclude freedom-oriented worldviews.
