This report shows that diagnosis to be wrong. The binding constraint on European #growth is not the cost of labour, but the direction of #capital.”

Because apparently, all this time, the #stock #market was just a simple computer science problem waiting to be solved by the right code wizard. 📈💻 Clearly, the biggest obstacle for #Wall #Street was not greed or regulation, but a basic understanding of #algorithm theory! 🤦‍♂️

RT by @EUinWroclaw: Dziękuję za niezwykle ciekawą wizytę w mieście #Legnica. To tutaj bije serce Kolei Dolnośląskich i tutaj mieści się siedziba Legnickiej Specjalnej Strefy Ekonomicznej.

Odbyliśmy bardzo pouczające rozmowy o konkurencyjności regionu, nowych inwestycjach oraz partnerach – już nie tylko europejskich, ale także globalnych. Rozmawialiśmy również o znaczeniu dostępnego cenowo transportu, który ułatwia codzienne podróże do pracy, do domu czy w góry.
