Dutch living in Colorado. You can spin stats any way you like. But if you look at the last few waves of companies. Machines for making chips, manufacturing chips, designing chips, search, social, mobile, AI.

If this was a soccer match the score would be 10-1 (yee ASML). Not only that the winners in these industries tend to compound and grow.

There are many great things about the EU, that are outside of this competitive ecosystem. But I don't think sticking our heads in the sand is really a great idea.

Read the article before trying to refute it. What it says is precisely that the US advantages are restricted to the IT sector that you mention. It is in the remainder of the economy that the EU pulls ahead.
