Spain - Medium sized European country up all the time from 1975 to 2008
Portugal - up all the time from 1974 to 2009
Ireland - up all the time from 1990 to 2008.
Italy - up all the time from 1950s to the early 90s.
Lots of reasons for them faltering but generally a combination of bad government, over indebtedness, big global crises and corruption. The same ingredients are all present in Poland. My personal view is that Poland will continue its growth, butthe govt and the population shouldn't just sit back and wait for it to happen
