摘要

Our country is in danger of becoming the world's first "derivative economy." Once renowned around the globe for our prodigious ability to manufacture, invent, and revolutionize, the U.S. is becoming a place where pastimes take precedence. Image is king, and quick money is the goal. Eighty years ago, banking profits accounted for less than five percent of all U.S. corporate profit. In recent years, they peaked at around 40%. College graduates are lured with the promise of making big money virtually overnight. Today, America is known for storylines instead of production lines. Reality TV, video games, celebrity gossip, and other forms of entertainment have become multibillion-dollar industries that consume not just people's spare moments, but the majority of their day. "Personal fulfillment" drives the ambitions of millions; the quest for superficial success leads to the latest status symbol, the hottest trend, and the sexiest fashions.
