Well, for once, you need to give something back if you need to take something, that's basic negotiation tactics :) That's an approach largely defended by economists who are not especially on the left, like Wyplosz (see here if you can read French: http://econo.free.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=2&codenote=168 http://econo.free.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=v...).
