is there an echo of bryan here
in stigs call to arms ???
no
he is all for allowing the rust bowl to crumble into iron filings
he wants something better
a new basis for national economic sustainability
post industrial vision ?? ....yup !!!
let the manufactures disapear
...but stig how will we "pay for " our imports of convenient products
and necessary inputs ???
well we might... i guess... create a balance
in raw inputs and resource extractions
after all despite its now small labor force
ag and extract still might produce adequate exchange value
to allow aquisition of our necessary outside imputs at global prices
but can intellectual property licenses
and high tech post industrial global services alone
---you know stuff like the securities industry provides ---
really "pay for " our imported wide screens golf balls and t shirts ???
far better we assume industrial balance
by striving to equal the exchange value of our industrial exports
to the exchange value of our industrial imports
and let trade and payments flow for global IP go and come from where they may

oh ya and then there's the migrations of various qualities of "labor capital"
ya ya
we'll need to frig around with the forex too
and stig seems to want that subject left to wonder the aisles of Target
