...but also in response to the FT, as was rallied for by Agnes. I think you slamdunk most if not of all the necessary points, although I would add the "protectionist" red tape graph, which afew posted in a diary a couple of weeks ago.

Do you mean the one about Foreign Direct Investment?

That's the one. Or had that nothing to do with protectionist measures...? I'm too easily confused. But I looked it up. Yes, that's the one.

But after tonight and attending a lovely Mozart concert which is very soothing for the mind, I've second thoughts whether it'd be useful. That one was more in conjuction with the rows over the energy companies, and not specifically adoptable to the issue at hand (or at least not that I can directly see). It shouldn't be used if it distracts from the core issue.

It' just... such a telling graph. Me likes it.

Mozart works wonders. Yes, though that graph is telling, I'm not sure it's entirely on topic here. Except to show that protectionism against foreign investment in the economy doesn't seem to be a likely runner in the major-causes-of-French-unemployment race.

However, the OECD report I wrote about claims protectionism causes unemployment, so here's a link to my diary for anyone who is interested.
