Foreign Affairs Discussion: Europe in Decline

Europe has suffered a loss of competitiveness and business dynamism relative to the US, China, and other rich countries. In 1992, the EU accounted for 29% of global output and was a leader in new technologies; by 2022, its share of world output was just 17% and it had lost many of its new tech companies. What has caused this decline, and how can Europe bounce back?
