The Brussels Journal has an article about the health of the European social model. It points to various data to suggest that thing are far worse than we are led to believe. I sumise the writer is correct in light of the happenings in France. The only way France would move to erode the welfare state is if it is in dire straits. That they are seeking to make it simply possible to be fired and people are rioting beggars belief. This is England before Thatcher. The French policitians do not have Thatcher's iron and will fold like Superman on laundry day. The tragic result will be that the decline will continue until the Fifth Republic falls and a major shakeup saves them from themselves.
