Just as capital goes where there’s money to be made, Labor goes where there’s money to be made. That’s why there’s millions of undocumented aliens in the United States; tens of millions of Philippines citizens working around the world; and millions of the best and brightest medical doctors and engineers from the around the world flock to the west.
We need to stop thinking about Capitalism and socialism as we did thirty or forty years ago because capitalism and socialism have had intimacy, exchanged DNA and birthed something new. Whatever this new thing is-and it’s not classical Neo Conservatism-it is potent and unruly.
Lord knows we hate to change, yet the reality of our ever changing economy, society and international situation demand change.
The United States is learning how to cannibalize the leftovers from the industrial revolution and invent something new and profitable. The same is true in other western countries. China and India are having their own industrial revolution and thinking big while watching the West and planning for the future.
Neither John McCain, nor Obama, or Hillary can stop this process. Whoever gets the nod. If they’re smart, will prepare the people for the future shock that is coming.
