While in theory free trade is a two way street, it doesn't seem to be much benefit for the United States, since the PRC simply doesn't view its economy as anything less than a weapon of war to destroy its enemies.

The Macabees wrote:Anyways, the great thing about a lot of the high-valued software that's made is that it helps introduce relatively low-skill workers into the industry. With no degree, you can make $30,000/yr. as a coder and not actually knowing much coding, except for a bit of html and maybe some css. The job will teach you, because those skills are in such high demand that a lot of companies have to train from scratch nowadays.
It's expensive to train people to code. They have high-value software that basically builds the website for you, which allows small companies to hire relatively low-skill labor and pay them at bottom-of-high-skilled-labor-pay-rates.
From that job, if you work hard, build your skills, and learn -- you learn php --, you can jump to $45,000-60,000/yr.

Google ads are becoming more and more automated. It doesn't make the pay-per-click specialist irrelevant. It helps low-skill people to join that labor market. These guys are in such high demand that you'll be lucky to get one for less than $50k/yr. Smaller companies are willing to train into the position, and they feed into higher paying opportunities.
The digital labor market is growing and will continue to become easier to break into.

Discuss.
The trade and currency and history sections are currently closed as I am in no region yet.
Economic dynamism and state ownership are mutually exclusive since the 1930s, and even then you had to do it over a pile of corpses. Mao tried in the 50s and got a pile of corpses but no industry. So-called "success stories" of central planning still allowed for the profit motive and their success was as much in spite of dirigisme as it was because of it (see: Japan and MITI). However, I may be a bit biased so here is a series of articles on Soviet economic history if you'd like to read

Wasn't that the case with Sparta with it's two kings. One functioned as junior while the other was senior in practice but still. Plus Rome with it's two consuls and arguably the semi presidential system in it's self encodes this with the president focused exclusively on foreign policy while the prime minister focuses on domestic policy.
This question reminds me of something I wanted to ask. Imagine you have a country like the united states, constitution and all. Just like in the usa it has two houses of congress, the senate and the representatives. My question is rather than having a presidential system could some type of semi presidential system work under such a system? My reasoning is they were worried the president would be too strong and trusted congress a bit more as such the decided to divide the executive into two officers: The Consul and the President. The president is head of state and commander in chief and handles foreign policy, they are appointed by the Senate and represent the states. The Consul on the otherhand is head of government and handles domestic policy and is appointed by the representatives and ultimately represent the will of the people. Could something like that actually work in a country and what would be the results if that was the path the USA itself took from the time they made the constitution onward? I imagine no imperial presidency would involve, and maybe there is a slight boost to third parties compared to the normal system.

Be Rome? Be Sparta?
The one-man executive is mostly a holdover from feudalism. Europeans were fixated with the idea there needed to be someone who "embodied" the state at the turn of the 19th century because they still had not completely shaken off the feudal norm that states were in some sense the personal property of their ruler. And because modern Republican governance was codified in this period it became the new norm everywhere. Collective heads of state were not particularly uncommon in classical antiquity, which preceded Germanic feudalism and so did not carry all the baggage.
