> However, so is high quality standards, higher education, higher moral codes / higher pay to keep people honest. So many presuppositions here that don't really support a future of a specialized American worker. China has weak to nonexistent intellectual property LAWS, and their Antitrust law was enacted just in 2008! Improvements in the general economy still result in a plethora of skilled workers across the entire planet, or in much greater quantity than the market needs. Today? Yes it is possible to renege on free trade treaties and close borders to pretend the uniqueness of a highly skilled American is inherent to quality goods, but these are not absolutes and can't be extrapolated into these impending economic dilemmas.
