The Richest Woman in the World: How Gina Rinehart Earns her Billions
Why Dell Will Never Be Great AgainOne wouldn't think someone would criticize one of the few growth sectors in the United States that has managed to remain intact and in good health during the nation's decade of economic descent, but that's what author Elizabeth Becker does.
In an op-ed article in The Washington Post, Becker argues against global tourism -- one the few bright spots in the U.S. economy, and also increasingly a source of income for many developing nations -- saying it's "a planet-threatening plague."
The U.S. unemployment rate is rising. The U.S housing sector is in its worst slump in a generation. Oil prices remain sky high. Business investment is sluggish. The investment banking community and most in the financial community in/around Wall Street, have a perpetual look on their faces of 'waiting for the other shoe to drop.' And now an argument is being made against one the U.S.'s few growth sectors -- tourism. You can just see the late Jackie Gleason, The Great One, looking down upon all this and saying, "What is the world coming to?"
