Ground Truth

Abstract

Recent global developments confirm the superior performance of the American way of life. The Gulf war and the collapse of communist Russia, the soaring performance of the US Stock Market, the leading US role as peacemaker in the Middle East and the Balkans are examples, not to mention the recent helping hand of brotherly financial underwriting for devalued Asian currencies. It is no coincidence that economic well-being at home is paralleled by financial outreach to those less fortunate abroad. America is home to the technological and industrial shepherds for the world’s free market flock. The global presence of the internet and satellite communications systems is enabling distributed and remote cultures to join the fold, to subscribe to America’s extended family.
