The Economist: The Comeback Kid – Rebuilding Americas Economy
COVER OF THE ECONOMIST, all global editions, is a gym-rat Uncle Sam: “Comeback kid: Rebuilding America’s economy “: “America’s economy is certainly in a tender state. But the pessimism of the presidential slanging-match misses something vital. Led by its inventive private sector, the economy is remaking itself. Old weaknesses are being remedied and new strengths discovered, with an agility that has much to teach stagnant Europe and dirigiste Asia. … [T]here is a boom … in high-value services (architecture, engineering and finance) and a growing ‘app economy,’ nurtured by Facebook, Apple and Google, which employs more than 300,000 people; its games, virtual merchandise and so on sell effortlessly across borders.” See the cover. http://econ.st/LM6qyZ Read the editorial. http://econ.st/NoGE0X
