> Empirically that seems to be false
Could you tell me on what data you are basing this argument on? I see this sentiment pop up in every related conversation but haven't seen the source of these claims. Could you help me out?

Here's some articles on Europe falling behind the US and China in business creation: https://www.economist.com/briefing/2021/06/05/once-a-corpora... , https://www.weforum.org/stories/2019/03/europe-is-no-longer-... , https://www.wsj.com/tech/europe-big-tech-ai-1f3f862c , https://skaleegenkapital.com/2025/03/11/a-decade-of-startup-... .
Empirically that seems to be false, given the number of successful businesses created in Europe in the past couple decades is way way less than in the US or China, even though Europe has better infrastructure, education and public healthcare.
