Capitalism Under Fire

This is a brief article about french students and workers who are protesting about the governments employments policy.The crowds in the street contest a certain form of capitalist economy that a large part, if not the majority, of French society regards as a danger to national standards of justice and, above all, to "equality" - that radical notion of which France is nearly alone in proclaiming as a national cause, the central value in its republican motto of "liberty, equality, fraternity."
My opinion of the article is that the french see the new employment policy as a way of advancing capitalism which it seems like they don't want. The person who signed the new policy didn't think about the consequence that the policy would bring. Consequences like the company having more autonomy and gaining more wealth from the unlimited labor from their employees.
