    So what is the authors’ suggestion Europe should do instead to feed its population? Farming is not globally competitive either. Advanced technology and services no longer viable. Tourism ditto.

    I mean, I know there is no solution, but I’d rather see someone spell it out in print.

      Clearly the solution will be to crash European economy and then to turn it into a cheap labor market for US. The future of Europa is likely going to look a lot like Latin America.
