French socialist laws bad for workers
Interesting columh by David Frum. Sems like the French socilaist model keeps unemployment high. The socialist laws of France will leave French workers with a much lower standard of living and without the dignity of work for millions of citoyens. I hope President Sarkozy can start fixing some of these problems, but he has a huge fight ahead of him.
Well, maybe I could afford to do without the extra wine. Can France afford to keep missing economic opportunities? The gross domestic product of the 60 million people of France now roughly equals that earned by the 35 million people of California (using purchasing power parity valuations for the dollar and the euro). Over time, little differences compound into big ones. The Democratic economist Robert Shapiro calculates that, if present trends persist, the average European will see his standard of living decline to about half that of the average American by 2025.France's new president, Nicholas Sarkozy, has vowed to address these problems. He proposes to adjust the 35-hour maximum and has famously called on the French to "go back to work." Outsiders can easily misunderstand those words. The French are not lazy.Those who work, work hard. But too many of them are legislated out of work by the laws meant to help them. It is those laws that must change if France is to thrive again -- and if I am ever to get my cheque. (Related)

I thought that everyone knew that socialism = unemployment both by design and as a result of the practice.
