europe still has higher industrial base then us, and in innovation we were behind since wwii. you just think europe has lower productivity because in us you can have inflation and then ship it to the rest of the world. so if wages double over the last 30 years but housing, school and utilities triple, your workers get written off as doubling in productivity because you own the global reserve currency and then trick the world into thinking your lobbying oligarchy is the best system. plus europe as a continent isnt build like us. it has higher population density and almost no minerals, meanwhile us has every resource it needs within its borders.
