Krugman's article here touches many areas that pushes people's buttons - unions, free trade, social safety nets, and Trump. What it does not talk about and something that is outside the economist's domain - is social order, break down of communities, and widespread anger and despair due to loss of jobs due to trade. Free trade is not without social implications. If you are not good at anything - then you would start buying everything from the rest of the world and run huge deficits. If you don't have anything to export - then free trade will come and bite you. It will cause mass unemployment and social unrest. The same champions for free trade will turn and speak against it. So what is the problem. It is because corporate America is not investing enough in productivity and getting better at producing goods than the rest of the world. If the private sector is not getting involved and not doing what is necessary for the long term good of the country - then government should get involved - not in inefficient programs but mandating the private sector to do their share for the greater good. If mass consumers cant afford because they have no jobs - the companies wont have anything to sell or reason to serve.

- I’m passionate and curious about change - these days I am trying to learn and understand changing patterns in energy production, distribution, and consumption: depleting oil reserves, climate change, geo-political events, globalization, nuclear threats and opportunities; how technology, internet, and satellite communications can interact to prevent large scale blackouts; how financial and energy markets can work together to bring energy and prosperity to more people; and how lawyers, engineers, and economists can and are breaking walled silos to create a better energy future for everyone. And yes! I speak with an accent Disclaimer: The views expressed in this blog are solely mine and do not reflect the views of my employer - past, present, or future.

The international phase of the first Arab-Israeli war took place after a UN General Assembly resolution recommending the partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states and Israel’s subsequent declaration of its status as an independent state on May 14, 1948. Cheap Jordan Shoes,Transjordanian forces were small but well-trained and professional. Abdullah initially assigned them the mission of taking control of all territory that had been allocated lor the Arab state in the partition of Palestine. The British were informed of this plan by General Glubb with British foreign Secretary Bevin responding, “It seems the obvious thing to do ... but do not go and invade the area allocated to the Jews.”, Later, the Jordanians departed from this plan and became involved in heavy fighting in Jerusalem, Air Jordan Shoes, which was projected to have been an international city under the UN resolution. This change in plan led to an increased use of the Arab Legion in exactly the sort of fighting that Glubb had hoped to avoid.
The Arab Legion commander considered the Jewish militia (Hagana) and strike force (Palmach) to be adept at urban combat in ways that his Bedouin troops were not. Unsurprisingly, both Israeli and Transjordanian casualties were heavy in the subsequent fighting within the city. King Abdullah claims to have refocused his efforts on Jerusalem in response to urgent appeals for rescue from Arabs living there, and thus directed his military away from a variety of more feasible missions. These statements probably do not reflect the full story. Abdullah is also known to have felt a special emotional tie to Jerusalem and may have believed he had a family responsibility to defend the Muslim holy sites from Israeli capture. As the fighting went forward, Retro Jordans, it quickly became apparent that Jerusalem would not be internationalized at the end of the war, and one side or the other would establish control over the area through military action.
