| Abstract: | With its global competitiveness on the line, Europe may financially face up to tough choices. Often in the past France has been a crucible of revolutionary change for all of Europe. True to that tradition, the nation in recent weeks has been at the center of what may well be the last great Continental convulsion in this century: the dismantling of the welfare state. For days workers have poured into Paris streets to protest planned cuts in medical and pension rights. For far longer, this latent crisis has been rattling the European Union currencies, toppling governments, and straining the functioning of the single market. |
