Dedicated to the landing strip

I have joined the ranks of numerous friends in creating this blog. I have dedicated this to the type of conversations that have been held during nights of hard drinking. Its the untainted ambition and hard work of people like myself and the rest of my friends that will help mold not only our country, but the entire world when the ideal of globalization becomes an complete reality.

Lets talk about Globalization for a minute. Currently, the perception is that our world is in absolute turmoil. I, too, have believed this for quite some time. I am leaning away from this. I think that we are ultimately heading towards a completely global economy. I actually do not think there is as much hate in the world as there was hundreds of years ago. The difference is that we have more powerful weopons and the capability of small groups of people of causing a great deal of damage.

The one thing that has always been the universal language is that of wealth. The only difference between 5oo years ago and today are the methods of obtaining that wealth. Hundreds of years ago you obtained wealth and power by being bigger than those that had the wealth. There was no bartering. There was just violence. Those with bigger and more well trained armies would take the land that produced the wealth.

The same is still as true today as ever but the means are beginning to change. We are heading to a society of economic warfare. It will be a society where those well versed in economic policy and trends will have a distinct advantage over those who do not.This can already be seen in countries like China. China has opened up the borders more now than ever before. They are cashing in on the greatest asset they have: LABOR. Billions of people just waiting to work at anything for about any wage. Mark my words, as that country develops fiscally it will become a power to be dealt with. It will not always be rooted in such basic financial principles.

Check back soon for theories on the death of countries.
