    Why the more you fall the easier it is to grow. If your countries economy is at 1 and it grows by 1 The economy has grown by 100%. But if your economy is at 1000 and it grows by 1 it has only grown by 0.1%

    the IMF have lost its mind and I have lost the little ounce of respect I had left for them. Greece 1st, Ireland 4th and Germany bottom LOL

    a five year old could probably order them more accurately

    they had totally destroyed there economy with there insistence on continuing with the EUSSR policy

    all the entrepreneurs and the money has all left

    when they finally do wise up and default leave the euro and devalue

    who will invest in a bankrupt country with a corrupt and unsustainable govt?

    they have debt to GDP of 180% 60% youth unemployment

    The chart isn't talking about the strongest economies, it's talking about growth for one specific year. It's far easier to grow from a very low position (i.e. Greece / Ireland) than it is from a position of strength (i.e. Germany).

    But growing from nothing is easier than growing from a high a mount.

    Argentina suffered much the same fate as Greece in 2001/2, it spent most of the rest of the decade posting double digit growth. It has stalled recently but that's capitalism for you.
