“Germany is a fascinating role model. The Germans have maintained their manufacturing edge despite being a high-tax, high-regulation economy. Why? Because the government really set about ensuring that it maintained funding for technical training, technical advancements and programs. It made a concerted effort to retain high-end, complex manufacturing -- the kind of BMW model, if you will. And they've done that so successfully that Germany, which has a quarter of America's population, exports more than America does.” IfsKindDoeMadeEndsDoneGovernmentAmericaEffortRolesEconomyTaxesModelsTrainingProgramComplexesEdgesPopulationDespiteGermanyFascinatingRole ModelsQuartersRegulationAdvancementFundingManufacturingBmwHigh TaxesTechnical Training Author:Fareed Zakaria

“The most widely discussed formulation of [the One World model] was the "end of history" thesis advanced by Francis Fukuyama.

The future will be devoted not to great exhilarating struggles over ideas but rather to resolving mundane economic and technical problems.
