What do you think would happen to the American economy if you Europeanized it?

If the American economy were to be "Europeanized," it would involve adopting certain economic policies and practices that are commonly found in European countries. However, it is important to note that Europe is not a homogenous entity, and economic policies and practices vary across different European countries. Therefore, I will provide a general overview of some key aspects that might be influenced by Europeanization, but it is essential to recognize that the actual impact would depend on the specific policies implemented.


1. Social Welfare and Safety Nets: European countries generally have more extensive social welfare systems compared to the United States. If the American economy were Europeanized, there could be an expansion of social safety nets, such as universal healthcare, stronger unemployment benefits, and more generous retirement pensions. This could potentially lead to increased public spending and higher taxes to finance these programs.


2. Labor Market Regulations: European countries tend to have more stringent labor market regulations, including stronger worker protections, more generous paid leave policies, and shorter workweeks. If the American economy were Europeanized, it could lead to increased labor market regulations, potentially reducing income inequality and improving worker rights. However, it might also result in decreased labor market flexibility and potentially hinder business competitiveness.


3. Education and Skill Development: European countries often have well-funded and accessible education systems, including higher education. If the American economy were Europeanized, there could be an increased emphasis on public funding for education, reduced student loan burdens, and a focus on vocational training to address skills gaps. This might lead to a more skilled workforce, potentially improving productivity and innovation.


4. Income Inequality: European countries generally have lower income inequality compared to the United States. If the American economy were Europeanized, it could lead to policies aimed at reducing income disparities, such as progressive taxation, wealth redistribution, and stronger social safety nets. This might result in a more equitable distribution of wealth but could also potentially discourage entrepreneurship and innovation.


5. Economic Growth and Innovation: European countries have diverse economies, and some have experienced slower economic growth compared to the United States. If the American economy were Europeanized, it might lead to a more balanced approach between economic growth and social welfare, potentially prioritizing sustainability, worker well-being, and environmental protection. However, it could also result in slower economic growth and potentially hinder innovation and entrepreneurship due to increased regulations and taxes.


It is important to note that these potential outcomes are based on general observations and assumptions. The actual impact of Europeanization on the American economy would depend on the specific policies implemented and the ability to adapt them to the unique characteristics of the U.S. economy. Additionally, cultural, political, and institutional differences between Europe and the U.S. would also shape the outcomes.

Serious question: Why would we get rid of the most successful economy in the history of the world for a much less successful economy that is used for a much smaller number of people? We have 360 million people in the US, with no Homogeny. Everyone's culture, values, and way of life are much different than each other here in the States.

The Euro zone has been continually drab and anti-growth for a good while now.

Paying for the use of public restroom access, could be done away with in Europe. Do that in the USA, and you would find more fecal matter and pee smell all over the place.

The same thing that happened to Europe. No tech industry to speak off, no manufacturing to speak off, no real economic growth, can't find people who want to work, lots of people on welfare, insane taxes high inflation and a collapsing currency.

Not a clue, how could we run a simulation of this to see what happens? I’d that even possible?

It depends on the extent. There’s a reason America is so much more powerful than the EU. There’s a certain culture and society in America that clearly promotes the production of capital. It goes too far clearly but there is some substance to it, at least IME. I’m a solid leftist and proponent of the Nordic system, especially the way Denmark deals with corruption and Norways and Finlands fostering a society of intuitively thinking collectively through education. I think these 2 things alone would precipitate into American style social democracy which could be an incredibly good thing considering how powerful we are. We need an American style of European policies. I think trying to copy European systems wouldn’t work great. Could definitely learn from them. Overall, our quality of life would be much better.
