Interesting story from France:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5157720.stm
From the article:
"A new body will try to boost financial literacy and communicate the benefits of wealth creation more effectively. ..
[Ministers] are worried about what they see as an over-reliance on the state and a lack of entrepreneurial dynamism.
The Council for the Diffusion of Economic Culture will operate under the auspices of the finance ministry when it launches later this year."
So the French are to get a government body to explain to them how to understand free market economics and thus reduce their reliance on ... government bodies! I love it.
Separately, Tripod, the blogging service I use, has made some upgrades to its software. I think it's having some teething problems though. Comments don't seem to appear until I write new posts. I'll have to dig around and see whether my settings have been altered or just hope that things clear up.
