Both have their positives and negatives, for example:
The EU is growing very quickly; there are more than one and a half as many people in the EU as in America. However, it is nearly impossible to have so many countries agreeing on an issue, making it unstable.
America is experiencing a greater economic growth than the EU. Furthermore people in the EU on average work a lot less. And in years to come this will get worse as the population is getting older (median age over 40). However America has many diplomatic problems which need to be solved.
As for China, well, they might be the dark horse! |
