Europe’s economy is under strain due to lagging productivity
growth, population ageing, the difficulties of adjustment in an
enlarged European Union, and the challenges of globalization. In
comparison with America, rates of growth of GDP per capita and
labour productivity growth are anaemic, raising questions about
the viability of a distinct European model. From observations
like these, conclusions can be drawn that Europe will feel
irresistible pressure to allow its policies and institutions to
converge toward those of the United States. But how far and how
fast are uncertain.
