The mostly African-American Lower Ninth Ward could still exist; it would just need to be smaller. But for many locals, rebuilding in the same doomed locations has become a point of pride, of dignity--just the opposite of what it should be.

That's 40% faster than the 3.4% average gains in the pre-oil-shock years of 1979 and 1990. Strong growth provides an important cushion to ward off unexpected blows. At the same time, the so-called stewards of globalization - namely, the G-7, the imf and the world's major central banks - are now focused on implementing policies that would temper worrisome global imbalances. But we can no longer count on an abundance of cheap money...
