Hi pondlife--Thanks for the link. I'm not the least surprised that Stiglitz is involved as I've been following his course since he quit the World Bank in the late 1990s. Nor is it surprising that the IMF would make such recommendations. The French are quite right to determinedly resist such policy advice as it would work to destroy the commonweal they've struggled to achieve.
