The New Economy

<h1>The New Economy</h1>Author: <a title="Joel" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/joel/158573.htm">Joel</a> You may not realize it but it's already begun…. the new world economy is happening right before our eyes.

I remember an interview I saw of Jon Bon Jovi. He talked about his politics and how he believed we were a nation of purple people… this is what you get when you mix the red of Republicans in the blue of Democrats. If you go to U2 and watch a video called Gen-We you will see how the younger generation has become much more purple. They understand that we are one nation, not a divided nation. They don't share the stringent themes of the political parties, Republicans and Democrats.
