The Invisible Hand at work.

The inherit function of the capitalist paradigm to find balance (harmony) is being validated during the recovery from the 'money lender' driven panic investors endured last year. Expectations of "The West" have become more prudential--albeit somewhat vigorously for many individuals--while our Asian counterparts are becoming increasingly perturbed with regard to wages and both working and social conditions. As the video indicates, the consequences of the One Child policy initiated by the Chinese are coming home to roost.
The nascent generation of Chinese are no longer prepared to work for low wages and austere working conditions. This 'generational turning' is used to getting what it wants--not impeded by competitive siblings. In the West on the other hand the new generation will be forced to lower expectations since much of their wealth has been effectively confiscated by the Wall Street bail out and ancillary stimulus package.
One generation--one from the East--one from the West--being compelled by free market forces that manifested as result of each societies diametric ethos.
One is to wonder what our politicians will do now to inhibit the natural corrective mechanism of the free market.
The invisible 'hand' works in wondrous ways.
