Or maybe, just maybe, Europe has been around for soooo much longer than America that they've reached the age where they realize that there are other priorities in life than just the accumulation of wealth. Like enjoying life, having a work/life balance, socializing with one's friends and family.

Perpsectives change when your history as a country is longer than a few hundred years.
