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.
- orwin 4y agoIf 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.
