Mhm. Cause a working marked with healthy competition never did anything good.
Just one question, how did European car makers then become what they are? Even though its impossible?
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> how did European car makers then become what they are? Cars have for a long time been tightly linked to the military. Every major Western car maker up to the last decade at some point built tanks.

- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> you're saying Europe should start another World War to make sure their companies stay competitive? No. You asked how Europe got certain economies of scale. I answered. Through the engines of past wars. Future wars don't guarantee similar results. If Europe wants globally-relevant big businesses, it will likely require social upheaval on the scale of war. (I’m not betting on it.)
