Jermey Rifkin in his completely awful book "the end of work" touted France's 35 hour work week as a briliant move.
Typically this solution is put forward by people with no understanding of economics and who only see economies as being able to create a finite number of jobs.
Many so called "neo-cons" called the French experiment idiotic.

The French, and the other Europeans have the idea of unemployment backwards. They have to de-regulate employment and limit the power of the unions.
Michael I think you've got some of the best posts online. Always there's a clear and proven message. I hope you don't mind me adding this to my own blog.
Jacob, please do. That's what blogs are all about. In fact, I was wondering if I forgot to credit this one to a blog I visited - catallarchy. I'm going to check and revise the source links if that's the case.
