Andreas: There is no national economy anymore. The
economy has been globalized. The computerized
digital global information network has freed
capital from local presence. Capital now moves to
wherever there is an investment opportunity,
managed by experts. Multinationals have no
national identify. Ford Motor Company, IBM, etc.
aren't "American" companies in any sense of the word.
Local patriotism is not relevant anymore. Us vs
Them? It's we. All of us, we, on one planet.
