Socialism: Crushing Industry and Spirit Worldwide!

From an editorial in the Wall Street Journal:

The values that might impact dynamism are of special interest here. Relatively few in the Big Three report that they want:

• jobs offering opportunities for achievement (42% in France and 54% in Italy, versus an average of 73% in Canada and the U.S.);
  
• chances for initiative in the job (38% in France and 47% in Italy, as against an average of 53% in Canada and the U.S.),
  
• and even interesting work (59% in France and Italy, versus an average of 71.5% in Canada and the U.K).
  
• Relatively few are keen on taking responsibility, or freedom (57% in Germany and 58% in France as against 61% in the U.S. and 65% in Canada)....

How depressing is that?
