Thanks for the reply. The population issue especially looms large.
We will see what the new European spirit of entrepreneurship brings about in terms of all three issues you mentioned.

Some facts about Europe:

- They run a net trade surplus, in spite of their almost total dependence on oil and NG imports.

- They have high savings rates.

- They live long, apparently happy, lives. Considerably longer than Americans.

What you desribe here (low birth rate causing population decline) seems to be an inevitable accompaniment of increasing prosperity.

In Europe, Italy has a heavily Catholic population (90%) and one would expect robust population growth; the growth rate is actually 0.01% (!!).
