...stock market since 1994 has added an extra $10 trillion to the assets of American households. And Washington's success in finally reversing three decades of government deficits has opened up a new era of "surplus politics," says Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International, "which is a huge change in the nature of our economy and politics." He predicts the American economy will grow a healthy 2.6% this year, down from about...
...China gets the economy right, Jiang believes, everything else will work out. America, he implies, would see a society it can embrace. But he acknowledges that China's problems are huge.

He has set up a classic confrontation by reopening the era of Big Government. His 1999 State...
...complex's wood floors and veneer were harvested from sustainable forests. Not a single California live oak was cut down during construction, and a stand of the ancient trees rises in a dark elegance just beyond a piazza. Huge atriums carry daylight deep into the building, paints and adhesives are low toxicity, the place is 30% more energy efficient than state law requires...
