~*MoRe ChUnKs*~

Well the next chunk in the book mainly talks about two things: the story of Jack Welch and the recent success of Europe. Jack Welch was once the CEO of General Electrics, unil a big blunder messed it all up: without thinking a minute about it, he bought a company that was about to be bought, for half a billion more than the competing company. That's were it all went downhill. Soon after that, there began an investigation about the monopoly-ish type of companies he ran and how he treated his employees. This soon brought instans success to Europe due in big part to Mario Monti, an Italian economics expert. Then the book goes on to talk about the recent success in Europe, socially and economically. Some of their success include making the Air-Bus and creating Red Bull.

i liked this little story!! to answer your question, I'm not really sure, but i think European economy is bigger in their society than it is in ours because even though money is the most important thing to us, its probably just as essential to them, but for other reasons. they treat economy well because it unifies them and makes them one empire. so in Europe, economy is more unified and it has more personal reasons, in my opinion.
