The article is right and wrong at the same time, mostly because the topic is complex and there is no way to properly lay it out on just two pages. They did not mention a few crucial differences between two economies such as military spending for example.

For those interested in the subject I highly recommend the following book: "United States of Europe". That book tries to carefully compare US and EU as two major competing nations/economies.

Way more complex. You're absolutely right. I think I could write a book about it...

> United States of Europe

I didn't like it very much. It's kind of superficial, and I think he actually gets a lot of things wrong.
