Germany to join Race To The Bottom

Germany currently enjoys a milder and (relatively) fairer form of capitalism than the our neoliberal Thatcherism presided over by Gordon Brown. This could be set to change, as Germany finds it increasingly more difficult to attract and retain "investment". There's seems to be only one solution: Lower wages for the masses and a significantly downsized welfare state.

They could of course change their economic policies, but many people would rather consign those desperate for a job to years of social exclusion in the knowledge that they are well looked after by 'the state'...
