Time to get real--real world, that is. Drop the following articles into your smart phone or bookmark them on your computer and read them over the week. Post a comment on one of them or add another link to something relevant. Thoughtful people all over the country are talking about these articles and discussing our future economic direction. This week, since we are talking about production, I want you to read an article that appeared in the New York Times: Apple, America, and A Squeezed Middle Class: How the US Lost out on iPhone Work.

Please also, find an article on the assembled-in-the-USA Motorola Moto X smartphone. Put the properly formatted article title in the subject line of your post and a clickable link to the article in the body of the post. In your post please comment on the following statement: “Apple must be greedy as it’s obvious companies can make money making things in the US as Motorola has proven.”

You may NOT re-use an article that has already been used by a fellow student so check the current posts before you do too much work on an article you’ve found.
