You Say You Want a Revolution?

Detroit, the once-proud capital of industrialization is now the paragon of de-industrialization and urban decay.

General Motors' July 15 announcement that it will cut white-collar employment costs by 20 percent is just one more nail in the industrial coffin.

Actually, this job-cutting phenomenon isn't new. It's been going on since the 1960s when the car companies began automating blue-collar assembly line jobs. Since the 1980s they have been steadily chipping away at the white-collar jobs by offering middle managers early retirement buy-outs.
