I like Paul's comments he made. It's like ... a recipe to be competitive with the US. I might disagree with some points, but on the overall I think he is mostly right. An interesting comment to me was the fact that he uses recent history to explain why Europe essentially caved in and stopped being super-competitive. I wonder what the world would be like today if about half of the European population hadn't been all-consumed by war for the first half century of the 20th century. Would they still be as competitive as Americans? Would they still be a colonizing force? Such ruminations are bound to be useless though ... time will tell what the world has in store for us.
