French economist Denis Clerc founded the newspaper Alternatives économiques in 1980. It is known for its anti-globalisation standpoint and was involved in founding the French NGO Attac. Thanks to a reorientation in its content - less ideological and more didactic - it was nominated Magazine of the Year in 2018 and gained new readers. Alternatives Economiques is owned by its employees.
