I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course. ~Barack Obama

As I've written before, China's ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn't where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else. ~Sarah Lacy
