IS EUROPE REALLY THAT SCLEROTIC? LESSONS FROM IMF STATISTICS Annotated
According to the IMF figures (table B1), the US economy has produced a real per capita GDP growth of an average of 1.6 percent per year over the period 1999 to 2008 while the Euro economy has produced a real per capita GDP growth of an average of 1.8 percent per year. Interestingly, even Germany which hovered around stagnation for several years at the beginning of the decade, has reached a per-capita-growth rate of 1.5 percent per year, only slightly below that of the US.
Smešno je, da sem tudi sam nabavil Kleinino knjigo na letališču v Benetkah. Kar pa ni tako čudno, saj so Italijani veliki potrošniki levičarskega čtiva. Na celem amsterdamskem letališču sem našel samo en samcat izvod njene knjige, medtem ko so se razni The World is Flat šopirili na vseh štantih. Res pa je, da je ta izvod bil v bližini priročnikov za uspešne podjetnike.
Vsekakor je njena knjiga super in toplo priporočam vsem. Nekatere njene primerjave so sicer malo na hitro povlečene, vendar večina podatkov govori samih zase.
