«Laissez-nous travailler ! : la folie des 35 heures» is the essay by Thierry Desjardins, published by Plon (282 pages, in French).
Critical assessment of the 35-hour working week in France five years after its introduction: 700,000 jobs and more free time were promised, but the author points out that unemployment rose again, labour costs grew by 7% and the state paid out more than 10 billion. Only the best-off enjoyed the time gained.
The book was published in France in 2004; the full title is «Laissez-nous travailler ! : La folie des 35 heures»; ISBN-10 2259200869.
Will appeal to readers of labour economics and French public policy.
Thierry Desjardins is a French reporter and pamphleteer, who works as a journalist for Le Figaro.
