It's already looking good:

There were Eurobooks and they were pretty well bought out by Facebook. Hyves and so on. The online CV networks were bought by LinkedIn.

Never heard of that, and I've worked in about 7 EU countries...

It’s not just the Internet. It’s politicians and businesspeople and more generally, shameless citizens.

There’s a lot to dislike about shame as an enforcement mechanism but I’m starting to miss some of the upside it delivered.

Could you expand on the other problems with Europe other than hiring and firing laws?
