I think the guy is a socialist loser. For the last 50 years, in the name of self-discipline, socialism etc.. we have lost our freedom in terms of our thought, we are expected to think narrowly, follow rules like culture, we were a great nation, world's biggest trading entity, the best businessman because we absorbed outer cultures, trade practices and modified them to our needs. If we keep listening to guys like this author, we would remain losers like the past 50 years of our history and the world would leave us behind
