Economic slumps are vicious things , and not just because they cause financial pain. They make the more comfortable parts of the world mean and selfish. For proof, just look at the debate in western Europe about enlargement of the EU, and the sour turn it has taken even in countries like Britain, which was the only big EU country to open its labour markets to workers from ex-communist nations when they joined the union in 2004.
