For a generation, observers have bet against Europe’s future, arguing that it lacks the high growth, centralized political institutions, domestic legitimacy, and hard military tools required to have an effective global presence. Every time I read about USA's "high growth", I think of how hollow that "growth" has been. [0] The latter three things are curses rather than advantages.
