		<title>Is America, a Cowardly Nation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through a fundamental discomfort with certain kinds of inequality within our society, we created the economic realities that made international labor arbitrage a necessary factor of production of many if not most goods enjoyed in American households.

In the same way, &#8220;the general levelof wages,&#8221; like &#8220;the general level of prices&#8221; (both of which concepts are central to Keynes&#8217;s thought), has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=isoglossy.wordpress.com&blog=3874338&post=94&subd=isoglossy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
