You learn from me. I learn from you. I worked for almost two years with the Chinese here. In 2009 we completed two Fiber Optic routes before CAN2010 (the Cup of the African Nations) held in Angola. Brutal 6 months of hard work. Ping told me: They were all surprised wit the crazy old Brazilian. The Chinese had never heard about hard work until they met me. Sheila asked: "How can you work so hard? At your age all Chinese are retired. How can yuou have so much energy?" "I don't know. Perhaps the liters of coffee?" I replied.

(The American Challenge, 1967). Then, it was not China. It was America that was thought to take over Europe. It worked for a while. 20 years later, it was discovered that it would be Japan who would take over the world. In a matter of only 10 years and Asian was raising, and there was talk of an Asia century, which did not happen since we had the Asian Meltdown of 1997/98. Cut for today. Japan is a has been fast returning to the insignificance it came from. US rapidly returning to its natural size. Europe? Serious doubts that it will survive in its present form. Here come the BRICS! It is our turn now. (The American Challenge, 1967). It sold 600,000 copies in France, unprecedented for a political essay, and was translated into 15 languages. This book was instrumental in creating a resurgence of French nationalism and drawing attention to the importance of transnational cooperation in Europe. The American Challenge. As the 1960s unfolded, Servan-Schreiber found himself in the position of a rich press lord, a political editorialist always chasing after new ideas. His trenchant analysis drew some of the first minds of his generation to him. Growing more and more disenchanted with De Gaulle's policies, he was no longer willing to settle for an observer's role. He found a collaborator in Michel Albert, who provided him with extensive documentation to inform his editorials. One of Albert's reports struck him particularly. It presented the United States and Europe as engaged in a silent economic war, in which Europe appeared to be completely outclassed on all fronts: management techniques, technological tools, and research capacity. Servan-Schreiber saw in this thesis the potential for a seminal book. He fleshed it out with reading keys and concrete proposals for a counter-offensive. The result was his international best-seller "Le Défi Américain" (The American Challenge, 1967). It sold 600,000 copies in France, unprecedented for a political essay, and was translated into 15 languages. This book was instrumental in creating a resurgence of French nationalism and drawing attention to the importance of transnational cooperation in Europe. Building on the book's success, he traveled throughout Europe, speaking to packed lecture halls, touting the advantages of a federal Europe with a common currency and of a decentralized France.

both sides shall begin to meet in the middle as true civilization clashes with genuine pop culture Again the expediency of market is profits & lets hope there is an exchange that is a profound one . This latest fire over @ Foxconn Chengdu facility reignites the vision of of modern industrial movement where rich get richer on the backs of the coolie workers like original immigrants to our western shores in the mining camps , city ghettos & railroads . The only difference the immigrant doesnt need to migrate now he's attached to the assembly line at home . Foxconn is going inland China with another $2Bil plant planned and with 1/2 of the population in the rural settings keeping johnny down on the farm, working & housed is one of the greatest challenges . We have already seen the flavellas of Brazil & the encampments around Cairo and these populations hav yet to peak but will have to soon. Kudos to the Chinese to have handled so much of this so far and now they're exporting jobs at this new plant , strategic inroads to Brazil investing . This just in , catching Foxconn plans for building a $12Bil USD Apple assembly plant inland near Sao Paulo, ...amazing what one hippie from San Francisco in the early 70's managed to do ? chinatechnews.com Recessions have complex causes...yet that same psychology of reporting profits & revs at all costs which we've already seen what has led to in the past . And its these same investors today that are back to that demand of "show me the money" again , yet this time lacking that hiring which allowed many companies to report record earnings & cash on hand on the bottom line only just lately. Huge subsidies & tax benefits were also there to help but not in all cases . the resource 'boom' is really just getting started, and would play an important part in resolution of the simultaneous equations of standard of income vs balance sheet vs living across the planet, as one person's cost is another folk's revenue and ... words fail me ... something about as the water level levels out. I wonder what would happen to coffee prices if the billion Chinese develops a taste for a good cup of expresso?</ Words fail me too ,let us hope they hold it all together , but this jobless recovery & employment scenario in the US is whats really striking to me with wealth already fallen just what more are they really going to do ? Less regulation? Less taxes for business & individuals? More free trade , less regulation. More patent protection ? Less loopholes & subsidies ? Spending cuts across the board? Get out of Iraq & Afghanistan? (most of these are not going to happen, soon )
