America is back!
Amazingly, I found some intelligent reading at the gym yesterday. Not that I’m too good for People magazine, mind you. Still, this was a rare find — Newsweek. It was the April 19 issue with the cover story by Daniel Gross on America as “The Comeback Country.”
I was glad for the shot of optimism, considering the divisions playing out in Washington and the media. “Bleak is the new black,” as Gross put it. (I really thought that should have been a pull-out quote.) Anyway, there’s terrific historical context in this article and scholarly input on America’s knack for coming back. In particular, there is talk of the game-changing opportunities in the automotive industry. “The rollout of electric and plug-in hybrids also has the potential to create its own ecosystem—dealers, charging stations, accessories, software applications,” Gross writes. He then quotes Henrik Fisker, who says: “The development of this industry will influence how we make electricity in this country.”
Check out the story here. It’s well worth reading.
