This is an excellent article by Gerhard Schröder, former Chancellor of Germany, published in the FT. I would very strongly recommend it for a read. Check it out!

via France should copy Germany’s reforms to thrive – FT.com.

Personally, I agree with much of Gerhard Schröder’s argument, especially that we need to give growth a chance at the expense of short-term austerity.

Any thoughts?
