Breaking Up Google is Not the Way for Europe to Grow

[Commentary] Will Google get broken up by the European Union, just as the US tried to do to Microsoft in the 1990s? It is no longer inconceivable now that the European Parliament took the unprecedented step on America’s Thanksgiving (of all days) of backing a non-binding resolution urging the EU’s Competition Directorate to “unbundle” search engines from their commercial activities. Europeans and the rest of the world would fare far better if EU policymakers concentrated on ways to promote the formation of new tech companies. Two particular ideas stand out: One is for European national governments to make computer coding part of their K-12 school curriculums. The second idea is to import more immigrant entrepreneurs.
