Only a few years ago, we were fearful of the Chinese hordes and their army. They were the enemy. Today, our economies are so inextricably interwoven that it is our best interest to work any problems out peacefully. We now depend upon each other. If we want to find peace with the Arab world, we need to find ways to establish economic ties with them as well. If we do not, the demographic issues I outlined above will have very negative consequences for us, our children and our grandchildren.

Finally, if I were young and aggressive or starting out (or starting over) I would seriously consider learning a second and third language, moving overseas and looking for opportunity. I would learn a business here and go and reproduce it offshore. Or you could consider backing a younger person with the time and energy to start a business in a foreign country. But be prepared to travel, and even if you are "only" the investor, learn the local language and customs and be prepared for changing course quickly.


Thank you Steve for posting the article, great piece
