"The British disease" nghĩa là gì?


"The British disease" = căn bệnh Anh Quốc -> nghĩa là giai đoạn đình công, bất ổn công nghiệp trong thập niên 1970 và đầu 1980, được cho là thời kỳ suy thoái kinh tế ở nước Anh.

Ví dụ
The White House seems to have caught a bout (vật lộn) of the British disease — a weird and muddled energy policy. You can read the details of the UK’s latest fiasco (thất bại) here. However, the U.S. version is just as entertaining for anyone looking for policy consistency in our elected representatives.

“A toxic combination of both low growth and persistently high income inequality (bất bình đẳng)” is this audit’s (kiểm toán) definition of the British disease. Among EU countries, only Bulgaria is more unequal than us.

Thatcher cured the British disease marvelously (phi thường), but it also cast a long shadow. When she passed away in 2013, citizens of Liverpool, a labor-friendly city, shouted, “The Witch is dead!” That manifests (cho thấy) hatred so deeply entrenched over the years. Nevertheless, Thatcher could push dramatic reforms thanks to solid support from the middle class.
