This was a very interesting article, and I have to agree with pretty much all of it. This article points out one of the very obvious reasons for this economical decline, greed. Greed is what motivated bankers and investment consultants to hide risk and fool investors. This in turn caused an ill affect on the manufacturing industry, by which I am currently employed.
I also have wondered how we, as a group, will overcome this situation, given the fact that everyone that I know is currently doing everything that they can to cut there cost. This seems to be driving us further into decline. What will it take to create change?
Any audience would, or should, appreciate this article published in the NY Times.
