This is why China will not bury America
Meanwhile, China’s “golden moment” is slipping away, and fast: 2010 will mark the apogee of its working population’s size in relation to its pool of dependents (kids and retirees). Thanks to its one-child policy, China has shrunken its demographic inputs for the last 30 years, while the share of its elderly population held steady. But from here on out, far more elders will be disgorged from the working-age cohort than those replaced on the front end, meaning China’s worker-to-dependent ratio will fall — and keep falling through at least mid-century. By 2050, China will have more retirees than America will have people. As far as unfunded mandates go, that’s one King Kong-sized monster.
More generally, understand that China’s emerging economy is just coming upon its greatest stress test, otherwise known as the shift from extensive to intensive growth. When it comes to catching up to advanced economies by copying their well-worn developmental pathways, single-party states can — under the right conditions — most definitely outperform sloppy democracies.

Waiting in the wings was the full power of globalization
The answer, strangely enough, may be connected to the heady events of 20 years ago, when the collapse of the Berlin Wall signaled the end of the Soviet Empire.

A Massachusettes New World Order
Could the Haiti earthquake’s aftershocks have made their way up the Atlantic coast and, upon hitting Cape Cod, turned inland and shaken Massachusetts into a new world order?
It certainly felt like something akin to a tectonic shift when I saw the news that my home state, dubbed the People’s Republic of Massachusetts due to its liberal tendencies, had voted into the US Senate an unknown Republican state legislator to succeed the 46-year term of Democratic stalwart Ted Kennedy. And there has been plenty of tears and anger since. Read more
Objectives of the American Progressive New World Order
Now we have America hanging precipitously on the lip of a bottomless and deceptively tyrannical well called the Progressive New World Order.
The Soros/Obama/MSM/Hollywood/Chicago/New York/Far Left coalition would prefer that the Tea Partiers and 9/12ers and Fox News and Rupert Murdoch’s Counter-Revolutionary Empire sit silently by while the virtually Marxist New World Order is built! Read more
Even George H. W. Bush’s New World Order—all began with the promise of the new
The promise and selling point of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign—breaking with the past, delivering something new—was the oldest promise in American politics. Since European settlers crossed the Atlantic imagining (mistakenly) a “new world” without history, Americans have rewarded talk of new beginnings. The early colonists sought to create a Read more
