According to Riccardo Faini: http://www.unc.edu/depts/econ/seminars/Faini.pdf "Once corrected for demographic changes and accounting differences, the growth performance of the Euro nations since 1990 is no worse than that of the United States" ("accounting differences" is just creative accounting with military spending) And for "unemployment" you know my line.
