I was at a dinner party on Saturday night and we were talking about the economy. One of the guests opined that, like in the 1930s, this Great Recession was here to stay and recovery will only come about as a result of war. While I personally agree with this sentiment, as did some of the other guests, one guest’s comments struck me as being particularly prescient. “There’ll be a war,” he said. “But we’ll lose because we won’t fight. Our young people just aren’t up for it.”
