Brexit Begins

The derpy reasoning was yours. You were the one throwing out those claims without thinking through what it meant.

No you utter derphead. A corollary of the claim about the association between size and rate of growth is that, all else being equal, rate of growth tends to slow as an economy grows, just as it tends to slow as an economy matures. This would be true for any comparison between the UK and the Eurozone whether you're in or out. The UK's growth, notably, has been facilitated by its membership in the EU.

Indeed that would be the corollary if the facts were on your side but they're not. The UK's GDP per capita is more than the Eurozone's GDP per capita so therefore using your logic the UK should be growing slower than the Eurozone all else being other as our economy should be more mature and the Eurozone should be 'catching up' with the UK. The facts do not match that though, the UK has for the past two decades since the Euro was launched grown more than the Eurozone has consistently.

Why isn't the less mature Eurozone economy growing more?
