This emphasis on anti-worker, pro-rich policies as the recession’s primary cause fits less well with events in Europe. Countries like Germany that reformed labor laws to create more flexibility for employers, and did not raise wages rapidly, seem to be in better economic shape than countries like France and Spain, where labor was better protected.
强调反工人、利富豪政策为衰退的主要原因，这样的逻辑并不怎么适合欧洲。德国等国家改革了劳动法，为雇主创造了更加灵活的空间，也没有快速提高工资水平，因此要比劳动力保护更完善的法国和西班牙经济表现更优。
