Oh yes this is a good one! The effect of the financial crisis on the Richest and Poorest 10% in world’s major economies 2007-11. One definition of equality in any society is surely that when things go bad we all share the pain. Germany and the UK share this attribute where the line between the two is narrow. By definition the poorest will have suffered more as economies decline but in Britain we have ameliorated this and yet not skewered the wealth creators disproportionately. Is this why we are the fastest growing developed economy? All we have to do now is sort the national debt. Easy peesy!?
