Which is exactly why I'm puzzled by some of his completely wrong statements about Europe.
- Vivtek 14y agoHave you ever been to Madrid? They're about as far away from the epicenter of Europe as you can get and still be in the Union - and not at all Central European. A lot of the points he made are very, very Spanish. But as I just posted upthread, as a contrast between the "general look and feel" of Europe vs. the US, I thought his post was bang on. Of course, I'm also an American in Europe - married to a Hungarian for 23 years. So take me with a grain of salt, I guess.
- jonascopenhagen 14y agoI think it would be a shame if American entrepreneurs were to be deterred from starting businesses in Europe solely because they've heard this and that general statement about Europe that isn't correct. Martin Varsavsky goes into specifics regarding legislation, etc., and, as others have pointed out, many of those details are simply not correct when applied to all/most of Europe the way he does.
