being inferior is superior

In his excellent new book, "The European Dream," long-time student of the E.U. Jeremy Rifkin goes so far as to aver that the American Dream, with its excess of individualism, is actually languishing in the world: "A new European Dream is being born which emphasizes community relationships over individual autonomy, cultural diversity over assimilation, quality of life over the accumulation of wealth, sustainable development over unlimited material growth, deep play over unrelenting toil and universal human rights."


uhuh who has less unemployement problems, better standard of living ( if you take out the argument over public services), less debt, more productivity
