The "English Disease" was when the working class got uppity and wanted a larger slice of the cake for themselves.  Margaret Thatcher did for that lot.  The Anglo disease is when the ruling classes got greedy on the back of the Reagan/Thatcher victories and started appropriating all incremental wealth to themselves by using globalisation as a stick to beat the Unions with.  Either way, its a form of class war.  Old Europe uses the state to mediate the tension by providing a wide range of universal rights and benefits.  The Anglo disease lets the markets take their course  - a democracy of the dollar rather than of people - and deregulates, outsources, and externalises economic activity and inequality as much as possible.  It's taken the general populace quite some time to cop on...

In Hungarian, angolkór (=English disease) is ricket.
