“Many Europeans fear deep down that America will have a permanently higher growth rate and that the European way of life will, sooner or later, be forced to disappear. Right now I would bet against this proposition, as I see a new Europe revitalized by intra-EU immigration. But there is still, say, a 30 percent chance it is true and polemics against Uncle Sam are in part a reflection of that deep insecurity.”
I agree with Tyler here and think that this (revitalization) will be even more likely if Turkey gets in to the EU and US immigration policy remains more or less consistent with the status quo.
