...Charlie Hebdo’s Multi-Million-Dollar Pile of Tragedy Money
Money equals poison. The answer to the venom, they suggested, was to turn the paper into a cooperative “in line with the social economy of solidarity that Charlie backs.” The paper should cease to be a commercial enterprise. All staffers should be given a stake, but without the possibility of profiting from their shareholdings, in order to guarantee that the “incredible financial reserves” be used wisely to ensure the paper’s survival for as much as 30 years. “The cause we defend is in no way financial,” the staffers said. “It is a just and moral cause.” As this suggests, money and morality stand at antipodes to each other in France.
