info on EU dollar
French twist Outsiders who complain Europe is overregulated, strike-prone, risk averse, overtaxed, awash in state subsidies and generally hostile to entrepreneurs, are usually talking about France. And France does its best to feed their prejudices, most recently when truculent Air France pilots walked off the job only days before the World Cup soccer tournament kicked off in Paris. France, however, is changing, and that's just what Europe needs as it prepares for the launch of its single currency, the euro, next January. |
