Now, the U.S. might be the economic straggler

The U.S. has outperformed Europe on the economic front for decades, but the coronavirus may be changing that.
In this crisis, the U.S. provided an early burst of funds for taxpayers and company support, but is leaving it up to the market to reallocate jobs. Experts say the European response, which froze the economy in place with wage subsidies, might work better.
