Economic Nationalism
Small-business owners have formed groups to defend the interests of small and medium sized businesses in Brittany. The label "Produit en Bretagne" is now used by them in order to create and advance the image of Brittany in other countries.
Efforts have also been made to promote the Breton language. In 2001, TV Breizh was created. However, little of its content is in Breton. The Breton language is also spoken for a few hours on the public television station France 3 region Ouest.
In 2004, a regional mobile telecommunications operator was set up with the name Breizh Mobile to serve the area.

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or nationalism:
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
