Ray in different countries the standard of living increased considerably probably too fast so now you have in many countries a slowing down which I view as regression I do not view it as recession but growth to fast and lacking sustainable. . . We here in the US tho we might not feel like it, have higher standard of living than most. In my view i dont see wage increases to much doom and i don't think we have secure feeling people but many two jobs and then some people. I judge the economy by a simplistic method taking two professions one is architecture the fore runner to prosperity across the board when it starts to slow so does the economy . Accounting when jobs are down we are in deep doo doo, adverse true also.

It works like an enraged ugly mob blind to its own interests, only seeking to vent the pent up anger on whomever is available. Who is available is the weak in the mob. Theory is based on principle. If only leaders would cling to principle and let the vicissitudes fly unimpeded. That takes confidence and conviction, two rare commodities least seen at the highest levels. David said, "there's nothing new under the sun". Still true since human nature changes at the rate of genetic evolution, glacial at most. Man is the measure of all things, so if you want a local measure, go to where you believe you'll find it, on the shop floor. Don't expect to see any more trust than what you find in the boardroom. You will find anger and resentment towards all the presumed beneficiaries of the wealth drunk society. This is the same attitude found among the privileged. Reeling from losses realized in the latest greedy speculation, they trip and fall from the 28th floor of the glass and steel tower.
