Such a characteristically electrifying and thorough summary. From Sun Tzu to Mao to McKinsey, it’s all there. The crummy manufacturing is perhaps the most humiliating blow to the west. Remember good old British quality… the MGB + Jaguar E-type? Remember Mac raincoats and country wear Coco Chanel so admired? Did you see the poor old Cockney bird on Twitter utterly disgusted by the total lack of quality in her annual Christmas purchase of Quality Street chocolates? And Italy! Thanks to EU’s bribery and bullying, traded away a thousand years of manufacturing perfection to avoid total bankruptcy. As Donald Trump would say… sad!
