    Wait, is that the original title?

    Is the European Union’s Economy Really Worse Off Than America’s?

    So OP changed it to that based on the archive version?

    Because right now the linked archive version reads

    What’s the Matter With Europe?

    The archive also seems to have a version history, and all versions show the same title.

      I mainly changed it because the downvotes from patriotic Europeams had already started to pour in on the “what’s the matter with Europe?” title and I figured the new one both reflected the content better and would avoid that kind of “just read the title and I’m mad” response.

        That’s perfectly fine.
        I was just confused because I cannot see the “less inflammatory headline” in the archive.
