This is the cover story from March's Atlantic Monthly. It's by Richard Florida (whom I'm sure many of you know about) and a damn good read. Much of it isn't ground-breaking, but it's organized, explained, and argued quite well. One area I want to point out though is the last page; he makes some interesting suggestions that I hadn't heard before to deal with the housing problems.
Anyways, it's worth 15-20 minutes of your day.

Good article, a little depressing (but that's the times we live in).
One point the article mentioned in passing was the cutting of manufacturing jobs by mechanical technology (robots). Outsourcing has kicked the manufacturing employment sector to the ground, factory robots will nearly end those jobs.
What jobs are the average joes going to work when there are no manufacturing jobs? You need someone to install your windmills and solar panels and such, but after they are built, then what?
