Not really no.
I mean, have you compaired the US response to the GFC compaired to the Europeon one?
If your talking more then just economically, I can list about a dozen ways the UK, Germany or France for example are socially conservative compaired to the US mainstream. Espiecally with the rise of "Blue Labour" who brilliantly think the reason they lost the elections is because they don't hate immigrants enough.
Ever look at Europeon Abortion laws? When it comes to just ease of access and amount of time to get it done... the US is pretty hard to beat. Heavy restrictions usually coming down in the 1st trimester in most cases... often with hoops to jump through. US, you just make an apointment.
But the parameters seem to be economic so it's better to start there.
