That's rich. The US bears the burden of defending the free world, and Europe gets to free ride on it. It's disgraceful. (And Europe also gets to free ride on the innovation that comes from the US, and even then the per capita income is much lower.)

How did you not say that? And why is the burden on me to refute such as silly claim? It is your burden to support your claim. I'm not even sure what your claim is. Is it your claim that the distribution of talent is different in US and Europe?
Outcomes are a function of both ability and opportunity, both of which vary within each country. If you ignore ability, you imagine greater differences of opportunity than are really there. Is that clear now?

And how does this explain the lower social mobility in the USA compared to Europe? And social mobility in the USA has gone down: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/07/social-mobility-america/491240/ … Why should we not care too much about it? Of course, Europe is rubbish too in this regards. See Piketty.

Social mobility in the US has gone down precisely because the US is ahead of Europe in matching ability to outcomes, assortative mating, etc. (And Piketty is a joke.)

That's not what I said. See the rest of this thread.
