  • Lackadaisical

Krugman argues that the picture is complex: Europe has strengths in health care and many services, remains competitive in many non-cutting-edge sectors, but lags in rapid development of frontier technologies and lacks a Europe-wide Silicon Valley; he also notes that Europe benefits from high living standards but must address fragmentation and policy gaps.
