>the theory replaced yours 70 years ago
You keep declaring shit without evidence. As if it coming out of your fucking mouth is proof enough. Even the examples you provide(Ireland) prove my argument, not yours.
>thus, my comparison of adding 1% more labor to the economy vs. adding 1% more productivity per worker is particularly apt, in a way it wouldn't be in a developing economy.
The point I'm making is, finance distorts everything. Western economies are really just crypto-schemes supported by the dollar, the US military, and the lack of alternatives. Furthermore, since Europe has no resources, without a constant infusion of foreign capital, everything would collapse.
The reason Europe is absolutely cucked is because it has no choice. Without Russian gas, there is no Germany industry. And without German industry, there is no Europe.
