Alfons Sauquet, the dean of ESADE Business School in Spain, argues that a disconnection between business and science is holding Europe back. And business schools are often part of the problem

As with most European intellectuals the author misses that whole point. He does NOT address a very basic issue: the support of politicians and intellectuals of the fraudulent theory "anthropogenic CO2 causes global warming"! When such damaging and fraudulent theories are supported, to mis-allocate even more resources, what chance does Europe ever have of being relevant? I note NO publicity in Europe regarding the law professor's report at U of Pennsylvania (remember Dr. Mann of IPCC, "hockey stick, etc. fame)into the theory of CO2 causing global warming. He found NO scientific support for the theory and found much of the information supporting the theory to be fraudulent and misleading. (Reported by Lawrence Solomon of Energy Probe in the June 7 issue of The Financial Post in Canada).

The author's comments and suggestions to Europe's problems are rubbish, in light of these FACTS.

Why this magazine continues to support and publish such rubbish is truly amazing. It used to be a relevant magazine; now it has descended to a misrepresenting supporter of fraud artists.

What hikeandski fails to mention is that The Financial Post is Canada's answer to Fox News in the U.S. That is, the extreme self-interest of the far right at any and all cost (which includes illegal computer hacking), on top of an aggressive ignorance of the peer-review process and just science in general. These are the same ninnies that support the tobacco and offshore drilling industries, they are about as old-world self-serving as they come, and they don't give a tinker's damn who ends up to paying for the continuation of their members-only lifestyles.
