Against competitiveness at Free Exchange
Great post:
"There are excellent reasons to improve domestic economic conditions, through investment in infrastructure and education, sound fiscal and monetary policy, and openness to movement of goods and people. It is not the case, however, that failure to be at the top in any of these categories implies loss of wealth or well-being. Mercantilism doesn't apply for human capital any more than it does for trade in goods. Rich neighbours make one rich, provided that one is wililng to interact with them economically.

"Geopolitical concerns there may be, but a strong Europe and a rich Asia are very much in America's best economic interest."
