A few spurts here and there but nothing outstanding. I bet if you're more specific about which countries have the lower growth, you might be able to elicit some plausible causes for that... You probably know that high GDP growth tends to be associated with very low down developing countries, or countries recovering from a local economic correction. You perhaps also know that China's growth rate is declining as it reaches development goals. It might not be a surprise that countries riven by war and insurgency tend to have negative GDP growth; and that growth itself doesn't equate to prosperity.

The Nasty Party has been working hard for the last 30 years to take away as many workers' safety nets as possible resulting in companies being able to hire an fire much more easily. Therefore, cheap and easily dispensable drones can be hired in lieu of proper investment in technology. Also a lack of investment in education and training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tattoo would be a start. Definitely need something to see them coming . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are genuinely new here you will learn that this poster and many others go on and on and on. Usually Brit bashing and can't substantiate a single fact although he and others are all experts. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
