With manufacturing now accounting for less than a tenth of private sector jobs in America, political polarisation in Washington on the rise and a middle-class seeing household income fall 6.7 percent in the period between 2009 and 2011, America is facing a decline that, according to Edward Luce, can only be halted by some very deep and immediate thinking.
