Nice Fareed Zakaria piece in Newsweek.
The quote below struck me:
A Chinese businessman said to me over lunch in Beijing, “In many ways the financial crisis and the discrediting of the American model has been bad for us. You see, we don’t really have an ideology anymore. We don’t know what we believe in. We used to think it was some version of the American Dream—liberalize, open up, grow. But then you had your crisis. We can say, it proves we’re strong. But where do we go now?”
Leading a race is VERY hard, because you're never quit sure how fast to run.
