Globalization

(Community Matters) I’ve been thinking about a conversation – instead of looking at the widening economic chasm in the US, look at the shrinking economic chasm worldwide – millions of people lifted out of poverty into a middle class during the last 10, 20 and 30 years.

Declining jobs or wages in US – reflective of competition from abroad.  Instead of protectionism, retool, higher value added, even relocate as managers or virtual management.  Taxes imposed on corporations – a competitive characteristic they’ll assess in selecting where to build.

I’m not buying, promoting or embracing any of these concepts yet – they are informing and testing my positions

  1. It is an interesting thought Eugene. I am curious the % world resource utilization we consume in the US compared to our % of world population? I believe we have been consuming 25-30% of the resources while representing less than 5% of the world population. Sounds like the ultimate bubble!
