I've been hearing a lot about efforts to increase innovation and productivity. Not that I'm opposed, but there's a danger of overselling these as both the cause and cure for our social and economic woes. This document, for example, states that "Europe is in a state of 'Innovation emergency' which makes the building of an Innovation Union essential for the success of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth and jobs." Well maybe, but I'm hearing similar statement coming from everyone - and they can't all be in a competitive disadvantage.
