Pieter Garicano argues in Works in Progress Magazine that Europe's rigid dismissal protections—like 62 months' salary in Spain or €167,000 per worker for Opel's 2014 factory closure—deter firms from high-stakes bets in EVs, AI, or space tech. While Volkswagen outspends U.S. rivals on R&D, it sticks to safe improvements rather than breakthroughs, and economists link this to Europe's lag in AI chips and mRNA vaccines. Critics cite studies showing protections can spur innovation, plus successes in flexicurity models like Denmark's, but many call for reforms to boost dynamism without sacrificing social stability.

Key Takeaway

Europe boasts educated workers and solid infrastructure, yet incomes have fallen 20 percent behind U.S. levels since 2000. A new article pins the gap on strict firing rules that make bold risks too costly for companies.

In 2023, Labour Together—a think tank key to Keir Starmer's leadership shift—paid APCO Worldwide £30,000 to investigate reporters like Sunday Times' Gabriel Pogrund and Harry Yorke, Guardian's Henry Dyer, Paul Holden, and Matt Taibbi after stories on its £740,000 in unreported 2017-2020 donations. The firm labeled them 'significant persons of interest' and speculated their info came from an illegal hack, even submitting reports to the National Cyber Security Centre. Labour Together's then-director Josh Simons, now a minister, called it a probe into a suspected hack unrelated to UK journalists, but targeted reporters described the materials as a 'dodgy dossier' aimed at discrediting their work. Press freedom groups raised alarms over the tactics amid broader concerns about political pressure on scrutiny.

Key Takeaway

Journalists who exposed hidden donations faced unexpected scrutiny from a Labour-linked group, with leaked memos revealing a PR firm's detailed dossiers on them.
