Les uns et les autres - III

Na sequência do post do LA, pode haver, segundo Alex Tabarrok do Marginal Revolution, ainda outro motivo para os protestos dos estudantes franceses:

perhaps the students know more economics than I credit them with. Under the current law it is costly to fire anyone but the effect on hiring is not symmetric. The workers least likely to be hired are those who are perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a risk. The fear of hiring effect falls not on the privileged students at the Sorbonne (trust me today's protesters were tres chic), but on young French North Africans whose unemployment rate exceeds 30 percent.

Thus, paradoxical as it may seem, today's protests by the Sorbonne elite are a cause of the riots of late last year.
