Paul Krugman thinks it is...at least Keynesian economics, that is.



Keynesian economics, which applies a supply-and-demand model to the labor
market, was developed before the advent of large scale spcial programs, which
resulted in a significant proportion of a society being paid more not to work
than they would earn working.

You like sources? LA TRIBUNE (French economic daily) reported yesterday the
results of a governmant analysis which showed that most people presently
benefiting from "reinsertion" welfare will earn less when they actually do get
a job. This is considered to be a big hurdle for Mr Douste-Blazy (minister of
health and "family affairs") who has the daunting task of trying to propose a
reform for this type of social welfare.
