Interesting graph, courtesy of Paul Krugman and the NYT.
My mind goes to the nooks & crannies of the graph.
How are the workers who used to make cars in the U.S. doing? Is the economic stimulus plan in China working, and if so, how have the workers creating the infrastructure faring in all this? What products are just about to be brought out into the world that will make our lives better? What longer-term behavioral shifts will we see in how people handle money, and assess risk?
Finally, it's nice that it's going up and to the right, but my hunch is that it is about to flatten out. Or maybe worse, the part of that graph that comes from the U.S. will.
