Top Countries in Global Competitiveness: article, slideshow
An observation – a number of the small countries with outsize rankings are noted as having high taxes. So high taxes need not harm – and when the tax revenues are used effectively, may benefit – competitiveness (at least as measured by this group).
On a more speculative note, Britain is noted for “sophisticated financial markets”, and also as no longer in the top ten … and falling. Is there a correlation?
