Another interesting article with profound implications. It points out one of the pitfalls of democracy, versus a state managed by a small number of people who have a vision for the future. With a more business centered approach to government, these countries are making an investment in the future that actually is helping to bolster their present economies as well. We should be doing the same thing in the US, but unfortunately our leaderless government is busy squabbling over the best approach to achieving bankruptcy in the next few years. Our star is fading as a world leader, and we don't even have the foresight to do anything about it. We deserve what we get!
