That only shows the evolution, what are the actual numbers?

Let's just say...that the data doesn't exactly support the thesis that the lack of venture funding is a drag on Europe's productivity

Very strange to see UK and South Korea so low.

That literally was what the article was about. Tons of figures/facts in the article.

Indeed, I was just skittish about hanging my hat on a single article.
