Germany's economy under spotlight in Britain

Several countries 'in Europe have been hit hard by financial problems. But, Germany is still doing fairly well or, at least, 'better than Britain. Still,, there is a body of opinion in Britain that questions whether the economic 'model' in Germany is to be emulated by other countries. It is, of course, also pertinent and legitimate to debate the question of how relevant is the British 'model' to other countries, like France and Russia 'where Vladimir Putin 'has been elected as the president again and whose oil-and-gas supply plays a role in the European economies. How Britain sees 'Germany, 'France, Russia and also other nations on earth at this juncture of world history and how it is seen by other can indeed be an interesting focus for observations, studies and debates.
