[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt Cappy, In the long run globalization is probably inevitable. All segments of the global economy should eventually find what they are best suited to do. But my concern as an american, and perhaps our european friends should also be concerned, is the short term impact on our workers as transnational businesses rush forward to globalize and maximize profits. There is already turmoil in the workplace as more and more workers are displaced as their jobs are sent elsewhere. It will take at least a generation for workers to aquire the skills necessary to do the jobs of the "future". In the meantime some folks have to work two jobs and still don't make as much as they used to. My point is that as the average American, English, Austrailian, etc worker earns less and less we as nations become less and less of a contender in the <a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=1&k=world%20market" onmouseover="window.status='world market'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">world market</a>. Does anyone have a short term solution? Walt [/quote] Globalization may well be the wave of the future, but I feel we need to have safe guards in the national economies to prevent collapse! The US has to have a "lock gear" that could prevent a worldwide depression form attacking its economy, same for UK, OZ, Deutchland and the Orient. Otherwise you will have a "house of cards" senerio that will send the world into an economic situation that could cause a new "Dark age." Then how would we get our trains? And that is the Economist that is Capt Carrales.
