It depends whether your priority is a dynamic, lively, resilient economy which delivers technology advances including healthcare, internet and handheld super-computing. Or if it's levelling things by cutting heads. It's a policy choice, of course. And one set of features doesn't prevent the other of course, but you still can choose priorities and get the corresponding result. For Europe, the priority is overwhelmingly "employment of the masses". Nothing else comes close. And anyway, European corporations are not exactly run by middle income families!
