It is no accident that the real venom of the neo-cons is not directed at France (as Jerome fondly imagines) but at anything that smacks of international or global regulation

Hmmm, I think similar amounts of venom are spent on those, but also on Germany and other places whenever economic news seemingly favourable to the ideology come up. You may find Jérôme's fervour amusing nationalist self-overestimation from Ireland, but I'm familiar with the steadfast drippling of venom via the media and international fora he's angry about, and think he may only over-emphasize how much of it France gets.

its 'rhenan capitalism', with strong (long term) relationships between banks and industrial companies, has been under similarly ceaseless attacks by the neolibs.

Probably because the banks had the junior role in the partnership.

(not to mention, of course, the institutional role given to unions in companies. That grates, too)
