“Are the French as happy with their “choice” as Krugman thinks they are? New Krugman Truth Squad member Tino Sanandaji on the Truck and Barter blog points to a Harris Poll that says they’re not. When asked if you are “very satisfied…with the life you lead” only 18% of Frenchmen said yes, compared to 58% of Americans. It turns out that the French aren’t even all that wild about the families they spend so much time with instead of working. Sanandaji points to a Pew Foundation survey showing that only 43% of Frenchmen are “very satisfied” with their family life, compared to 67% of Americans”. –Donald Luskin
