Boeing feels interesting through this lens, too - tracking the rise and decline of American business culture

Interesting question. ASML?

ASML was one company formed out of Philips' microchip division (NXP the other part from that division).

So it's not a company built by politicians from many European companies AFAIK.

Arianespace of course a huge success for a brief period, until it wasn't.
