Brillant analysis by VDH..spot on...what we may also see happening int he near future is a mass exodus by millions of young people..from all European countries....as the onerous cost of the entitlements implodes economies..and who will benefit from this??..Canada, Australia, and the US..
Brilliant! Sign me up. Thanks
As compared to the Mark Steyn article ("It's the Demography, stupid") , this is good but comes up a bit short in my view. Perhaps VDH is simply trying to be more subtle.
In my view, Europe is heading downhill and there isn't a whole lot that can be done in the short-run to turn it around. It's not so much the current politics (which can change) as the birthrates which have simply dropped off into the abyss. As pointed out in the Mark Steyn article, you can't turn 1 baby born in 2006 into 2 entrants into the workforce in 2026.
Europe is committing the demographic equivalent of mass suicide.
