As it becomes dear that peace is Here to stay Europe and America Are no longer allies but competitors in the worlds markets. For the last half Century Europe took advantage of . Defense commitments to rebuild its destroyed cities Cut Back on its defense spending subsidize its industries and steal . Markets. The result is a Western Europe that a wealthier than the United states but which lacks the terrible Street crime shoddy housing and Urban blight of americans deplorable inner cities.
