Doom and Gloom?

I am myself not averse to criticising the German economy, educational system, labour market, political system, sense of humour and so on, but over the last week the portrayal of Germany as the 'sick man of Europe' in the British media has started to awaken my German pride. And when Tony Blair yesterday referred to the 'Angst of Germany', I really did get annoyed. So, I was very positively surprised when today I discovered this article, which paints a very different picture, by Demos author, Christopher Harvie.
