...nationwide referendum would overwhelmingly indicate that Britain should relinquish its relationship with Ulster for good. Northern Ireland's warring communities, when faced with the prospect of managing their own affairs, would have to lay down their arms and iron out their differences.

While the U.S. has embraced the pure marketplace with ideological fervor, Europeans continue to believe the state has a role to play in guiding markets. Exhibit A is the GSM (global system for mobile communications) standard introduced in the European Union in 1991. Thanks to GSM, a subscriber in Portugal can use her phone from Ireland to Hong Kong. The U.S., in contrast, still allows various incompatible standards to compete like trains running on tracks with different gauges. As a result, a New Yorker cannot use his cell...
