At present, the U.S. is an attractive place for capital since it offers a well educated public, a good infrastructure, a weak labor movement, and state/capital institutions and such as The Federal Reserve, the Commerce Dept. and legal structures such as copyright laws which tend to serve the interests of capital. The difficulty for U.S. capital interests will be to continue to convince a public that these state/capital institutions and laws are a benefit to all and not a few. If the future seeks liberty and less restrictive structures, look to sharp parings if not eliminations of needless state institutions such as the Commerce Dept, Dept. of Education, etc…. It would be a mistake for EU nations to take Esko Aho’s advice and “increase spending on research” since that is better left to individuals. What the state can do is slough off its institutions and open it borders.
