Paraphrasing (18th paragraph)

Text

The fact that Sweden, Finland, and the rest of Scandinavia have been able to nurture fast-moving technological developments with their traditionally lumbering regulatory and tax regimes offers an unexpected contradiction, confusing traditional assumptions about how high levels of regulation impede globalization. But what about areas of relatively high regulation where no technological takeoff has yet been achieved? Look no further than continental Europe to see the negative effects of an unfavorable business climate on integration. Indeed, most of the countries in the euro zone, weighed down by their relatively low scores in Internet development, rank at the bottom of the top 20 globalized countries.
