Very Impressive Analysis of the bottom line to VZ's collapse; which steeped to the fact: "NATURAL RESOURCES AS POTENTIALS FOR GROWTH DOES NOT MAKE NATIONS GROW"
What does as exemplified byJapan, typically, is the ability to harness BRAIN resources to Create demandable services and Products for global economy!!
The Watch Word is "PRODUCTION" as opposed to "CONSUMPTION" which is the ethos of most left wing Economies; VZ, being one!!
Again , we are appreciative of @hilarski down to earth analysis of the VZ's political/Economic quagmire.
