The Geography of Recession

[John Raabe]

This most interesting Stratfor article is a review of the US and other major world powers from the point of view of geography and how it has had a strong influence on not only the formation of national culture but the economic and political systems that the country chooses.

The message for the US is rather upbeat compared to the other major players.
This read and a good strong cup of coffee should brighten your Monday morning.

Interesting article John. Thanks

Thanks, John. 

Current events and political/financial actions make that article seen a bit overly optimistic.  I guess it's a wait and see thing.
