The issue with our country, I feel, is the manufacturing industry. More and more I hear about computers doing this for us, and do that for us, why? Technology cant log the trees for the lumber for our houses and instruments. Technology cant mine the ore to make the steel to make our cars and other steel objects. Technology cant "Make" our cars. My dad when he was in college had a professor, and the professor said to the class "When Logging is down the economy is down". MY brother, so i ronically is a logger. And anyone else who knows a logger, or has watched Axe Men, American Loggers or Swamp Loggers can relate a little. As already mentioned Logging creates the lumber for our houses, furniture and instruments. also, Logging gives jobs to the truckers who transports the logs. It gives jobs to the mechanics who repair the trucks, and to the manufactuerers employees. Technology can not give us this job setting. without our back bone of manufacturing we are nothing as an economy. I find it hard to believe we are still the wealthiest nation in the world (-_-)
sorry about my rant. But if the book touches on any of this I would be interested in reading it.
