So why have the Europeans been unable to sustain improvements in both foundations of growth – employment and productivity – at the same time? This proved possible not only in the US, but also in other advanced economies outside Europe – Australia, Canada, and New Zealand – and, unsurprisingly, in the new EU member states.
那么，为何欧洲无法同时在增长的两大基础、也就是就业和生产效率上维持增长呢？这一点不仅在美国是可能的，而且在欧洲以外的其他发达经济体，例如澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰以及令人惊讶的欧盟新成员国中都是可能的。
