The American economist and blog writer Grant Williams has found an interesting way to describe in just a few lines why Europe faces such huge problems. In the latest edition of his online newsletter "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." (a delightful mix of clear vision, out of the box thinking and some funny cynicism) he presents us an 8 line summary of what the European Union and its red tape has grown to be...
Europe's problems summed up:
Pythagorean theorem: 24 words
Lord's prayer: 66 words
Archimedes' Principle: 67 words
Ten Commandments: 179 words
Gettysburg address: 286 words
US Declaration of Independence: 1,300 words
US Constitution with all 27 Amendments: 7,818 words
EU regulations on the sale of cabbage: 26,911 words.
