I thought he had done a good analysis and wanted to share with every one else. Read this thought-provoking piece and share your thoughts on his evaluation. The US economy is currently at risk. However, this risk is offset by the fact that the US economy has tremendous underlying resilience due to technology capability and permeation (on strength of US-based companies), world-leading intellectual and other property laws that attracts producers (not just workers) from the world over, control of Saudi Arabia and the middle-eastern OPEC world (Oil is still an unbelievably-great make-or-break lever in the world economy.). The US is also helped by   huge oil reserves   a military that can seize limited resources anywhere in the world, disregarding all legitimacy.   very high education rate and constant talent rejuvenation via immigration Low education rate in the general population actually serve as growth-retardants in the Asian countries (in-part because they perpetuate corruption). High education rates do the opposite as evident in Ireland.   minimal internal conflicts compared to Asian contenders"}
