I think you're speaking of negative factors for Europe such as aging population, productivity level, etc., but I'd like to hear more about that if you will.

United States, while still the world’s largest single economic power, is clearly no longer the sole superpower. From 2002 to 2005, the United States accounted for 35 to 40 percent of the world’s economic growth, according to Goldman Sachs. But in the second half of last year, Mr. O’Neill estimated, the BRICs’ contribution to global growth was slightly greater than that of the United States for the first time. In 2007, he projects, the United States will account for just 20 percent of global growth, compared with about 30 percent for the BRICs.
