Somehow America continues to be a world-leading economy, with a growth rate considerably better than that of Europe with its high speed rail. Can you name a large European company formed in the last decade or two that's dominating anything at all in this world? Something like Google or Facebook or Uber or Airbnb or Stripe?

The cynic in me says that all of these companies (maybe except Stripe, not familiar enough with them to know if they are embroiled in anything shady) are far to cavalier with privacy, legality, and generally common decency to fly anywhere else.

  These companies dominate the world in what they do. There were no laws against their existence in Europe, but for some odd reason they did not originate there.

    Pablo Escobar dominated the world in what he did, but most people would not find it a reason to be proud.
