"The Great Disruption"

A friend just shared this article with me, and I couldn't resist posting it here. Coincidentally, it conveys largely the same point–that our recession is an opportunity to retool the economy to function in a more sustainable manner–as an opinion piece I'm currently in the process of writing for my school newspaper, which will be posted when it is published (mid-April). In the mean time, please read Thomas Friedman's piece here.
