In the last 20 years Europe lost 26% of the world's 100 most valuable companies
"At the start of the 21st century, 41 of the world's 100 most valuable companies were based in Europe. Today only 15 are" https://www.economist.com/briefing/2021/06/05/once-a-corporate-heavyweight-europe-is-now-an-also-ran-can-it-recover-its-footing
When reading the statement above it almost seems that Europe is doomed. But if The Economist really wanted to show a darker picture they should have used a picture on unicorns (companies with a valuation of over 1 billion). Europe has just 12% of the world's unicorns while USA has 48%. Worse than that in what concerns the Top 10 most valuable unicorns USA has 60% and Europe has zero. http://tesi.luiss.it/29739/1/705031_BARDUCCI_MARCO.pdf
Still, market capitalisation champions are hardly the watermark of a sustainable economy for the Type 1 Civilization that we desperately need to become as soon as possible. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-role-of-academia-towards-type-1.html
More likely transnational corporations that have brought us violent overconsumption, shameful inequality, and never-ending growth, are not part of the solution but instead a big part of the problem. On this issue see the book "The value of everything" that in just three years received almost 700 citations on Scholar Google https://marianamazzucato.com/books/the-value-of-everything
The Economist - Nos últimos 20 anos, a Europa perdeu 26% das 100 empresas mais valiosas do mundo

A catastrofista afirmação acima, retirada de um artigo deste mês da revista The Economist, quase faz pensar que a Europa está economicamente condenada ao marasmo. Mas se a The Economist quisesse realmente mostrar uma imagem mais sombria, deveria ter comentado o número de unicórnios (empresas avaliadas em mais de mil milhões), pois a Europa tem apenas 12% dos unicórnios existentes a nível mundial, enquanto os EUA têm 48%. Pior do que isso, no que diz respeito aos dez unicórnios mais valiosos do Planeta, os EUA têm 60% e a Europa tem rigorosamente zero. http://tesi.luiss.it/29739/1/705031_BARDUCCI_MARCO.pdf
Seja como for e muito embora não negando a evidência do problema não subscrevo de forma integral a tese catastrofista da The Economist, pois as tais corporações transnacionais que lideram a lista das 100 mais valiosas, em termos de "Market Capitalisation" dificilmente constituirão a marca d'água de uma economia sustentável, que é absolutamente necessária para a transição para uma Civilização do Tipo 1 https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-role-of-academia-towards-type-1.html

Nature - The authorship rows that sour scientific collaborations
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01574-y
Interestingly, in the recent article published in Nature (which begins with the report of a young researcher who was forced to swallow a frog concerning the authorship of a publication) is the result of a survey of 500 articles in medical journals that points to 18% that contained co-authors who contributed zero to these publications.
Contrary to what is written in the article above, I have no illusions and, therefore, I have little hope about the efficacy of the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) system launched in 2014. Since that system started it was not able to prevent "super-scientists" like Didier Raoult to put his name in all of his institute's publications. "Raoult's extremely high publication rate results from his "attaching his name to nearly every paper that comes out of his institute",[31] a practice that has been called "grossly unethical" by Steven Salzberg" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didier_Raoult
Below are three recent articles by the same Didier Raoult (DR), which shows that he is not only a super prolific author, with thousands of publications indexed in Scopus (only in the first five months of 2021 there are almost 100), but also that in each publication he even takes care of several tasks. Not only does he design the experiments, he also analyzes the data and contributes to the writing of the articles !!!
