Nicolas Bouzou (born 26 August 1976) is a French liberal economist and essayist. A frequent participant in the media, he is also an entrepreneur.

His work focuses on economic growth, economic policy, territorial organization and health. He is the research director and a lecturer in the Master 2 and MBA Business Law and Management-Management at the School of Law and Management at the Panthéon-Assas University.
In 2006, he founded the consulting firm Asterès which publishes economic studies for public actors and companies. [1] [2]
He is vice-president of the cercle Turgot, [3] which brings together liberal leaders of major companies and political leaders. He was also a member of the Conseil d'Analyse Sociale (2010-2011). [4] In 2017, he was appointed Chief Economist of the Franco-German Committee for Cultural and Creative Industries.
In 2018, Nicolas Bouzou becomes President of the "Rencontres de l’avenir", a think tank organized in partnership with the city of Saint-Raphaël. The 2019 edition of the Rencontres de l’avenir brought together some 30 speakers and more than 10,000 participants during three days of conferences.
Nicolas Bouzou has published numerous works, some of which were written collaboratively. His book, co-authored with Julia de Funès, La Comédie (In)humaine, has sold more than 50,000 copies.
In his latest publication L’amour augmenté, Nicolas Bouzou discusses the issues of fidelity and infidelity with couples, the role of dating sites and the changing place of marriage and sex in society. In this book, Nicolas Bouzou particularly defends medically assisted procreation (MAP) and ethical surrogacy as well as homosexual marriage.
In 2017, he published Le travail est l’avenir de l’homme, within which he discusses the fear of unemployment induced by the arrival of robots and artificial intelligence. For Nicolas Bouzou, this is an unavoidable fear, which was already present, for example, at the beginning of the 19th century, when British textile workers destroyed looms. According to him, labor will not disappear, it will mutate. He states:
“The most robotized countries, such as Denmark, Germany and South Korea, are also the closest to achieving full employment.”
In Septembre 2017, he approved President Emmanuel Macron’s policy, notably with the reform of the French labor code, which, according to him, will be able to reduce mass unemployment if it is associated with a very significant effort in terms of vocational training: “There is no point in allowing companies to create jobs if people are not able to occupy them.” He also supports the government's pension reforms: “It is clear that [the reform] is redistributive: the losers are the high income earners, the winners are the precarious ones. It’s a left-wing reform! But to say that, you have to know how to read and be honest.”
In June 2019, he stated that the hospitals of the future “will need to be run by bold entrepreneurs, rather than prudent managers.” He also predicts the same year that “in 2019, we will suffer a violent stock market crash. It’s almost certain, the probability is close to 100%.”
He advocates for the reduction of public spending, the number of civil servants, and taxes for businesses and the wealthy. In particular, he suggests abolishing the solidarity tax on wealth and increasing very significantly the IRPP [Personal Income Tax] deductions linked to investments in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
In 2022, it was revealed that Nicolas Bouzou was paid 10 000 eur to produce a report supporting Uber's expansion in France, in 2016. [5]
