(I) Le constat. Les décisions prises par le Conseil des Chefs d’État et de gouvernement les 24 et 25 mars dernier dans le cadre du « pacte pour l’euro » et la réforme annoncée du pacte de stabilité placent plus que jamais les dépenses publiques au centre des processus de surveillance à l’échelle européenne. Dans ce contexte, l’Allemagne est en passe de retrouver rapidement l’équilibre des comptes de ses administrations publiques, grâce à des recettes fiscales abondantes générées par une forte croissance mais aussi à une politique de maîtrise durable et drastique de ses dépenses publiques. Alors qu’en 1996 la dépense publique par tête était d’un niveau égal de part et d’autre du Rhin, elle était devenue en 2008 de 16% supérieure en France et l’écart en termes de dépenses publiques en part de PIB a atteint 10 points de pourcentage. Où portent les différences ? Enquête, première partie. Un retour rapide à l’équilibre des finances publiques en Allemagne Évolution des dépenses publiques Source : Eurostat

The Cliff I got two different business plans from friends today. Both of these guys are big thinkers, entrepreneurs through and through and destined for greatness. And both had precisely the same problem with their plan. It's a problem that's becoming very common... for products, for services, online and off. The problem is caused by our networked world, the quest for the Cow and the goal of reaching a Tipping Point. In the old days, there was pretty much only one way to grow a business. A magazine, for example, can't have a business plan that says it will accept no ads until it's bigger than Time or Newsweek. In our networked world, cliff businesses are a site to behold. eBay, for example, or Microsoft. The problem is, it's almost impossible to bootstrap a cliff business. The best cliff businesses online started with little fanfare (Blogger, or ICQ, for example).
