Another very philosophical essay, this one on the sad state of US power around the world, both politically and economically. A wee sample to give you a feel for the tone:

“…I’m not predicting the end of the American era, not by a long shot. The U.S. business culture is as pragmatic and effective as its political culture is dysfunctional. But has there been a worse moment for American power since Ronald Reagan celebrated morning in America almost a quarter of a century ago? I can’t think of one.” Ditto from this tie-wearing hippie…BS
