Lol. I can tell you that your posts generate quite a laugh over here. I still remember an American that didn't know any European inventions. I told him about the transistor, the computer, the World Wide Web and MP3and then suddenly he understood that not everything he knew was invented in America.
It is true, that your market has been big for a long time, which makes it easier for you to make big companies and mass produce at a cheaper price, whereas Europe typically has small companies that are more knowledge-based. A company with more than 10,000 employees is quite big over here, but we are very good at combining knowledge with production, generating high-value products.

A good example is Brüel & Kjær. Harley Davidson motorbike engines wouldn't sound as they do if it wasn't for Brüel & Kjær. B&K is a small to medium-sized company with approx. 600 employees, but has world patents on many sound and vibration related issues and has standardized much of the technology used in sound and vibration measurement today.

I hope that you will one day realize that there are worlds out there you haven't explored yet, that look very different from what you know.

Lars.

I know more about Europe than you think. The more I know the more it smells. This is 21st century NOT 18th century, World doesn't revolve Europe anymore. You still haven't named me one product from Europe that the US can not live without or find alternative.
