But then I read about the French:
And they do this with early retirement, unions, and a dense network of government regulations. I don't want to make the mistaken attribution that they are perfect -- that would be clearly untrue. But I want to think a bit more clearly about precisely where our advantages lie. Because these were the areas that I thought might be the most likely candidates for the US to dominate, given low levels of regulation and flexible labor.
