since 2008 UK, France, Spain, Italy, Poland havent got their Nominal GDP back where it was before the crisis

Most markets here are almost back to pre recession levels, housing being the main one with almost 200,000 houses sold last month they announced today. Give it another 6 months to a year it should almost be back to normal, cant say I really notice any difference between now and 6 years ago personally, people still live in expensive houses, buy expensive cars, spend £100 on a night out, buy unnecessary crap etc. The poorest suffer but they arent suffering compared to most countries and most receive enough money in benefits to get the equivalent of a good income in a country like Russia.
