How do the French national hypocrisy reserves measure up nowadays?
Sir Philip Stephen in “Lovestruck Sarkozy gamble on reaching a happy ending” January 18, gets into the theme of “throwing overboard this ‛deplorable tradition of hypocrisy’ was refreshing”.
Given that national reserves of hypocrisy frequently are of immense values to solve problems or at least keep a lid on them to prevent them from exploding, it would be interesting to hear Stephens opinion on how these reserves of France stand up when compared to those of other nations.
It is not that I believe that hypocrisies have to be included on the balance sheet of a nation, but a special footnote on it, among contingent assets and liabilities, could be helpful in furthering our understanding of it.
