I don't know why the Spiegel would suggest that though. I'd like you, Skybird, to let us know of the mail they receive from this. Certainly they've just lost a few subscribers unless they are playing "neutral" and there's another article on the other page suggesting to impose a full barrier on all American trade.

It is another excerpt from that book that they currently quote in a series of articles.

This essay has been excerpted from "War for Wealth: The Global Grab for Power and Prosperity", Germany's best- selling book by Gabor Steingart. SPIEGEL ONLINE is publishing a series of excerpts from the book in English.

The book definitely is meant as an alarm call and a provocation for too old and already overtaken thinking dogmas on economy and globalisation. Think I will buy and read that complete book sooner or later. Gabor Steingart also is author of the Germn bestseller "Der Fall Deutschland. Abstieg eines Superstars"
