Publisher's Synopsis
It is a question, like all bosses introduced into politics, of safeguarding and preserving business interests, acting as a group of influence and pressure, lobbying, guaranteeing the company decision-making power over the defence budget, the arms trade and military aviation. Some commentators will approach the subject in the global context of a multinational controlling national economic activity. The emergence of this family group established a particular relationship with the State services. Serge Dassault, by becoming a socio-logical product of the capitalist doctrinal establishment, inscribed the economic and ideological orientation of his industry. Marcel Dassault, on the other hand, the very designer of his industrial empire observes a multidimensional role. Industrialist, engineer, aircraft manufacturer, boss, politician, deputy, he instituted a redefinition of the parameters of management and industry at the heart of the state apparatus.
