?The role of Europe in invention is becoming secondary, whereas fifteen years ago it was at least on par with the U.S."

“...in twenty years, China and India will be the back offices and factories of the world, the United States will be the innovator, and Europe will be the Third World.”

Is "old" Europe dying? Is "new" Europe ready to overtake "old: Europe in technology and innovation and entrepreneurship and industry and growth? China and India are will soon overtake "old" Europe, but "new" Europe is just as much a threat to overtake "old" Europe.

Socialistic "old" Europe may not know how to change and compete.

Can Europe still compete in technology? (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9996845/)

I beleive europe needs a kick in the bum else countries like china etc will damage long term growth of our trade etc.

There seems to be no long term development plans which is a concern.

I'm not particulary up on politics and stuff - but I'm sure it is a concern to many.

Europe needs to wake up to the realization that their socialist economics is killing them. Especially the way it is being practiced in France and Germany. Socialism stifles growth. They need to get their heads out of the ground and face reality.
