France takes the summer off. Many factories close down for a month while workers holiday en masse.
Other European countries also take longer holidays than the UK.
Yet the productivity of these countries is higher.
Can anyone explain this - it is counter-intuitive.
I have voiced my doubts about the way we measure national productivity before.
Each time I note something like this, I become more convinced that we need to take a fresh look at what we measure and compare.
