The Broken Promise of the Post-Industrial Economy
Harold Meyerson, The Washington Post | July 1, 2010
The industrial economies of Germany and China have weathered the global financial crisis much better than their high-consumption, post-industrial American competitor. ++ American capitalism has abandoned its manufacturing sector and promotes a detached and irresponsible financial sector. ++ The result is a competitive disadvantage and the offshoring of America’s most productive jobs. ++ “CEOs and bankers are [not] conscious agents of foreign powers. But given what they've done to America, they might as well have been.“

So as the bubble bursted, it was those economics systems that can't regenerate enough support to steady their own falling parts, get hit most hard.
Well, the layers upon layers, groups upon groups, mixture of the global village, let the seasoned folks care for .
my suggestion is to keep clam, spread oneself and get a way through this impasse.
in the states, some economic sectors like the technology sector hv stronger financial position but is facing a monumental economic situation that shaking their edge among their management and damping the innovating researchers in corp and academic level.
The relative strengths, shapes and tastes of the world market is gradually changing For the us, the cyclical rebound of the financial market is weakening in momentum, the commercial business & banking sectors are facing uncertain consumption and interest rate environment, the headline indicators as the hiring figure & housing market, are muddling the situation. It can be say that the time is come to leverage, not so much the financial strength, but the entrepreneur spirit on sensing the tastes of the world market, shape of the diverse corp spending and the streamline of your utilization in production, knowledge and management parameters. That will provide breathing space for the other sectors to figure out their current problems.
I guess that the competition in the world marketplace in various sectors and systems are no less severe but the psych and manner in searching for development are going to be different.
