So please stop talking marvellous things about Neo-Liberalism because I know what it can do to a country:
Since 1989 (Menem's assuption) until 2001 (De La Rua's fall) argentina had full neoliberalist policies like the ones you are proposing. The Result: Poverty went from about 10% to 53%!!!!! Unemployment from 6% to 17% The state industries (gas,trains,airlines,etc.) was totally privatizated, the national industries destroyed and the literacy rate went from 97-98% to 90-91%.
So i ask you to not talk about things you know NOTHING about.
Now, at last, things appear to go in the right direction as Newly elected president Kirchner seems to be in favour of a Neo-Keynesian economy (intervention of the state) and statitazion of some vital industries(airlines,oil,etc.)
I am from Spain.. and for the past ten years.. yes it has been doing better than Germany.
