Emmanuel Macron is now the new president in France. The 39-year-old's win over far-right candidate Marine Le Pen Sunday in the second round of the French election shows how people around the globe are searching for leaders outside of the normally accepted political world. This election saw the older, establishment politicians defeated as they failed to identify and adapt to waves of change. No doubt that the French voters showed their displeasure for politics as usual. Macron took almost 66% of the vote against Le Pen. He won because his campaign emphasized a break from older, more conventional political forces. The graduate of exclusive French schools who became a banker and finance minister formed his own party to escape the old political elite. He will be the youngest French president ever and the youngest French leader since Napoleon.
