And I noticed something interesting in the comments: People who had lived in both Europe and the USA strongly agreed with the article. Disagreement largely came from people who had never left their birth continent. I read the original NY Times article by Paul Krugman, that was linked to at the top here.

FYI, Switzerland isn't an EU country, either. Also, there are 4 UK universities in the top 6 in the world, which shows up your point about the US dominating the rankings.
