I need to write some more about it because there is so much we might learn, as we deal with our own policy debates, about the economic and demographic predicament underpinning the turbulence.

The first time, I wrote about the urgent need to liberalize labor policies in order to prevent the present 24 percent unemployment rate among younger French workers from worsening. Ironically, that attempt to liberalize a highly protected labor market provoked violent protests from its intended beneficiaries: the French youth.

Answer: They’d run out of banner headlines.

Yesterday, on assuming the presidency of the European Union (it’s Italy’s turn for the next six months), Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi provoked a chorus of boos and jeers by "insulting" a German delegate.
