“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

“I think something like three-quarters of American currency is held abroad, by drug dealers, by tax evaders, Russians and Chinese. Other people think that they want to protect themselves against their own currency going down. When you have 75% of the currency and even more of the high-denomination $100 bills held abroad, you wonder whether these are people we really want to pay. If you get rid of the $100 bills, its foreign holders will be the main losers.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantThreePayWonderDrugProtectTaxesBillsChineseLoserQuartersCurrencyDealerDenominationsDrug Dealers Author:Michael Hudson
