Liberalism In France

This short essay in Le Monde about liberalism in France (in France that means economic liberalism, not social liberalism) caught FLG's eye. Perhaps it's a bit of a sideshow or just cynical speculation, but the piece made FLG wonder how much of the interactions between President Sarkozy and the head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is on the short list to be the Socialist presidential nominee, will be for domestic, French consumption.
