There are multiple EU countries that offer that "pro-business legal framework" which speak english and even offer very low taxes (Ireland Estonia Cyprus Malta Bulgaria etc). The problem is, as soon as they become substantially big , politicians will reign them in, and the "single market" suddenly breaks to 26 pieces.

There are many ideas about how to fix things. What is missing is political will . Politicians find it easier to leech off (european and US) entrepreneurship , in order to "give back" trinkets to their audience. Look at how EU subsidies and grants are given, and how little return europe gets from huge research projects like ERC grants. It's mainly a eu-wide jobs creation program for perpetual academics.

Until you change that thinking, all ideas are not usable
