> the EU stock market was bigger than the US one in 2004, now it's half

I feel this is mostly to do with the EU having more companies that stay private for longer and partly to do with the USA's currency manipulation which maintains the dollar value artificially high.



Every country is free to manipulate its own currency.


And it usually attracts severe penalties from other countries, but the USA doesn't because it's powerful.
