Occupy Wall Street

The U.S. is done.  Finished as the sole leading superpower.  For decades countries aspired to be more American, taking their culture, their media and their currency.  No more.  The tide is turning.  Americans need to look at the lessons the UK learned with at the end of British colonialism.  While Americans never had formal colonies, the way international market share was free given over in most countries is similar.  Sustainability does not just apply to the environment.  The unlimited growth model of capitalism is unrealistic without exploiting new markets.  But a government that plans for zero growth is unfathomable.  Those hard decisions need to be made before the same mistakes that Japan and third world countries have made, happen on a colossal global economic scale.  In that sense, capitalism as we have known it for the last few decades is over.
