Politics and Demographics

There's an interesting piece in the Aug 24th issue of the economist that considers the growing differences in demographics between the US and Europe. America is staying young as Europe is getting older. This will mean each county will face different policy challenges: education will be key in the US and health care will be a focus for Europeans. Europe may get wiser, but we'll be more entrepreneurial, and so on. Demographics aren’t everything, but it will have some impact.
