Your points are right on the money, but my one point is that the "uncomfortable brits" are mirroring (or so it seems from my comfortable perch) Jérôme's "uncomfortable Frenchman" stance, and we keep going back and forth on whether or not the word "Anglo-Saxon" is appropriate or offensive (offensive it may be to some, but it is definitely appropriate as I have documented downthread) without making any real progress on the real issues, debates and policies.

I also what to stress again that the Anglo-Saxon model vs. French model is a neo-connard frame and that we are wasting anergy and breeding spurious controversies by holding our discussions within that frame.

In the long run, we're all misquoted — not Keynes
