We here in the USA have found it increasingly difficult to make anything for a profit when our people or our machines have to compete against labor costs in places like Indonesia, Malaysia, or any other 3rd world spot where people are happy to work for 10% of the American labor rate.
Yet we still wanted stuff. Life was good and real estate values ramped, so people spent that equity until it tapped out, as sine waves always must.
Today we see what happens when Americans stop spending.
But that doesn't fix the problem.
We read capitalism doesn't work. We know socialism and communism don't work, yet smart people want more central action, and people like George Soros say the USA is the bar to justice in the world. I used to think he meant our desire for others to have their natural rights as free men.
But today I am not so sure,.
Obama keeps talking about another kind of world, but doesn't say what it is, although his aim is to remove worry from our day to day life from above.
The following is strictly 1st coffee musing.
Suppose nations agreed that certain industries, commodities, services, and enforcements, were best served by a dependable future from certain 'areas' (not necessarily geographic in nature). 'Destructive' competitions could be eliminated in favor of a 'stable' situation. Nations and industries could plan on DEPENDABLE rates of growth based on demographic changes, which short of another Black Death, will always be up. Governments would find it easier to implement such a design if they owned a significant portion of private enterprise.
Short of being 'more equal' by virtue of being on the inside, no ingenuity, entrepreneurship, hard work, or breakthrough would permit anyone to rise 'too fast', since that might turn out to be the antithesis of what would be predictable, and therefore stable. Only a complete systemic failure could cause a new sine wave bottom (in theory).
We might look at this first blush as a theory and apply to real life events to test it's predictive ability, and thus it's reality. Scientific method.
I have no idea if this is correct, a plan, or the result of natural international economic and political forces, but it would explain a lot about the actions and beliefs of people like George Soros, wouldn't it?
All the USA stands for, and has stood for would be against the 'justice' of such a system, which WOULD benefit many (and rob the planet of genius in its stead)
Which explains the outlook of progressives. Whether they understand that or not.
Of course in their way is Mr. Galt, and human nature. Otherwise, no problem.
