> In Europe where firing is almost impossible Where exactly in Europe? It's like saying "in Asia is almost impossible to do X" Europe is a 750 million people continent formed by 51 different countries including Russia and UK Be more specific please. In Spain it's easy to fire, for example. Their average salaries are 20% lower than the French ones, even though in France firing is hard, and their unemployment rate is almost double. You theory has some flaws apparently.

Be more specific please. In most countries of Europe we have a lot of laws to "protect" employees and current companies, making it harder in the first place to even create companies and hire people. But that's also true for others places in the world Yes generalizations are never true. Even talking about one country is a generalization and you will fail at making a statement about it. The best way to not make a mistake is to not say anything Europe is a 750 million people continent There is no good reason to separate Europe from Asia, it's all one big continent. Your theory is also flawed :(

  > In most countries of Europe we have a lot of laws to "protect" employees and current companies, making it harder in the first place to even create companies and hire people There's no such things as generally "harder to create companies" in Europe. It's simply harder to create global multi billion conglomerates with an easy trigger for layoffs. So generally, that's true, there are less multi billion global conglomerates with an easy trigger for layoffs than in the US. But USA has 2.2 companies registered per 1,000 people Most European countries have more than that, Netherlands is at 7.1, UK at 7.4, Bulgaria 6.7, Denmark 5.2 etc. > There is no good reason to separate Europe from Asia, it's all one big continent Eurasia is a super continent, Europe is a landmass, which is either considered a continent in its own right or a subcontinent of Eurasia Thanks for giving me the chance to explain this topic once again.

    If anything, it's easier to create companies. Since the market is fragmented, if your business isn't reliant on network effect, it's generally easier to get by. The massive plumbing companies in the US do not yet exist in my country. I feel this is changing, but fair competition is still enforced at the local level, so i might be wrong. Nobody really care about little entrepreneurs it seems (especially not those politicians who claims they do), but i have the impression that the weakening of local courts is a prelude to a change towards a more anglo-saxon model. Like i said, i might be pessimistic and hopefully wrong.
