I will now put forward the provocative thesis that it must be this way. Prices adjust to the available money. If almost only men work, prices are at a level that is sufficient for single earners. If most women also work and two incomes are the norm, two incomes are needed. Otherwise, a middle-class life is not possible.
Nope. Our problem simply is that countries like China, India, Brazil have become really big consumers and thus major competitors for raw materials.
We are now beginning to feel what happens when more and more people want to live the way we Western Europeans have lived for about 50 years.
Indians and Chinese no longer want to sit in their bamboo huts... and there are almost 3 billion of them, which is six times more than in the entire EU.
