The Servant Economy: Where America's Elite is Sending the Middle Class
America's political and economic elite spent so long making such terrible decisions that they caused the collapse of 2008. So how can they continue down
the same road? The simple answer, that no in charge one wants to publicly acknowledge: because things are still pretty great for the people who run
America. It was an accident of history, Jeff Faux explains, that after World War II the U.S. could afford a prosperous middle class, a dominant military,
and a booming economic elite at the same time. For the past three decades, all three have been competing, with the middle class always losing. Soon the
military will decline as well.

"The time is ripe. Polls show that majorities of Americans think we need to rebuild manufacturing. And business leaders
are starting to speak out in support of industrial revitalization."
"The purpose was not simply to buy it in America or to invent it in America, but to make it in America."

"Alexander Hamilton’s famous Report on Manufactures of 1791, calling for tariffs, subsidies, and public works to support
infant American industries, was adopted by Congress in the early days of the Republic. The ideas were elaborated by Henry
Clay and Abraham Lincoln and became the basis for the “American system” of economic development championed by the
Republican Party during the last half of the 19th and early 20th century. Tariffs, taxes, procurement, and other policies
were employed to pick industrial “winners,” including clipper ships, railroads, assembly line technology, airplanes,
telegraph, telephone, long distance radio, and television." -- Jeff Faux, Economic Policy Institute, Sept 22, 2010

"It is widely agreed by economist such as Martin Wolf on the right to Paul Keugman on the left that we are not
simply facing a financial crisis that can be patched up by a new regulatory system. Indeed, we are facing a crisis that
has its' roots in the distribution of production within the global economy where you have built up enromous overcapacity
in trade surplus countries such as China, Japan and Germany which has been enabled, for several decades, by debt driven
consumption in the United States."
-- Michael Lind, New America Foundation

"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear
to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within
itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and
defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very
questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."
