4 quick paragraphs on Europe

I really think that many of the comments we usually read on press or hear from most of European politicians are missing the big picture.

The truth is Europe is really becoming less and less relevant, as D&E economies grow to maximise and extent their potential. Many of those economies have bigger, younger populations, still have good natural resources, many have good education systems (at least for an elite) and are eager to grow. And, have unified economies and political systems for hundreds of millions of consumers. (and are becoming politically stable, reducing the risk of investment)

Europe is made of small countries (even Germany), fragmented, and without unified economies. This hinders Europe's growth potential and also the leveraging any company might have whilst operating in Europe. Hence, it is probably limiting Return On Investment in the continent. Which in term will jeopardize Europe's economy position (and, in due time, our individual living quality and patterns - sorry).

The only way to counteract this? Unify economies and leverage the power of more than 300 Million consumers, with modern consuming, investment, educational patterns. And we need a single currency and bigger political integration for that.
