This article is a summary of our book America 3.0. It appeared in The American: The Online Magazine of the The American Enterprise Institute.
[T]he political and economic model we now live under cannot go on forever. Some shock may force reform. Let us hope disaster doesn’t strike before we can replace and rebuild our current rickety system. The best course would be for the American people to find the will and the leadership to build something better.
We will get through the painful transition to a new economic and technological age, as we have done before. And the bedrock of our freedom-loving and hard-working culture will remain, evolving but continuous, as it has for over a thousand years
Thank you to AEI for publishing this piece.
We shall call it: The Big Haircut.
The United States represents the ultimate ideal for many nations on earth who seek constitutionalism, democracy and civil and economic freedoms as the way out of poverty, political corruption, social discontent and violence. China came to Latin America to continue financing socialist dictators and populists like Cuba´s Fidel Castro and Venezuela´s Chavez, and to Africa to support criminal dictators and fuel more violence. The rise of China and all they hype around their coming supremacy worry many of us, because China does not promote democracy and freedom, does not promote the rule of law and the constitution, but piracy and cheap labor, corruption and industrial and commercial trickery and deception in pursue of trade surpluses in their favor at all costs, and massive, destructive pollution of the environment. Mexico buys more than 50b USD in Chinese products, they buy less than 5b. worth of Mexican products, and they are doing exactly the same with the US and with every other nation on earth, in a parasite manner of trade. I am planning to get this book as I want to believe the US will continue to lead the free world.
