Issue 39

Dear readers,

As the year comes to an end, this March edition marks the final issue of TSEconomist for the 2024-2025 season. Our commitment to covering timely and economically relevant topics that engage a wide audience is reflected throughout this issue.

In Academics, we feature an exclusive conversation with Mathias Laffont and insights from Pierre Moscovici on the current state of the French economy. Meanwhile, our Spotlight section is dedicated to Trump’s new mandate, examining its wide ranging implications from cryptocurrencies and foreign relations to its impact on entrepreneurship and Medicaid.

Beyond U.S. politics, our Hot Topics section explores pressing global debates: Syria’s path to economic recovery, the urgent need for nuclear disarmament, the economic impact of Fashion Weeks, and the challenges of securing raw materials for the ecological transition. We also take a closer look at the expanding Schengen zone and the research that earned the latest Economic Nobel Prize.

This edition also brings you testimonies from TSE alumni, a recap of campus events, including the 2024 Teaching Awards, and exclusive interviews with TSE student athletes Lili Dezou and Adèle Diehl. Plus, for M1 students still considering their M2 specialisation, we offer guidance to help navigate this important decision.

As the 2024-2025 editorial board wraps up its final issue, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our readers students, professors, and supporters for their enthusiasm and engagement throughout the year. We are also deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this publication possible. A special thank you goes

to Isabela Rosales, whose support during critical moments has been invaluable.

Happy reading!
