Actually the American Automobile Manufacturers committed suicide all on their own. Am I the only one who remembers Detroit's CEOs claiming year after year that "no one wants those 'little' cars" in the face of annually rising sales of those 'little' imported cars? -- cars that proved, more reliable, better designed and engineered than what Detroit was offering.
Advertising can carry you just so far. Failure to compete with a better product will wreck a business. In the end, you have to make something people want more than something else. And too those bad decisions by U.S. Execs, like this one: http://www.economist.com/node/3473604, did not help.

One could say that corruption killed Detroit. Others could say that the emergence of Japanese automobiles in America in the late 1970s killed Detroit. Others could say that greedy managements offshoring with the blessing of NAFTA killed Detroit. Others could say that union autoworkers refusal to make wage/benefit concessions killed Detroit.
In reality, they are probably all partly correct.
A special economic zone (SEZ) is an area in which business and trade laws are different from rest of the country. SEZs are located within a country's national borders, and their aims include: increased trade, increased investment, job creation and effective administration.

You're looking at the great recession and the effect of Greenspan's zombie economics -- the thoroughly Republican idea that if you don't do anything the "market" will spontaneously resolve the problems it creates.Alternatively, the current model is set up more and more Overseas War Zones (OWZs), perhaps. LOL
In order to maintain a reasonably low employment rate, through more overseas war-related deployment as well as arms manufacturing jobs locally, and arms exporting business internationally.
Not really a healthy or reasonable model at all! The costs for serving veterans are high for the future governments. Paying to war specialists firms has been proven also very high (see below chart).
An extremely expensive and unsustainable model at all!
LOL

At least it wouldn't be any less useful.Sometimes, saying a prayer would be useful and comforting too!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will
Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.[1][2] It is closely linked to the concepts of responsibility, praise, guilt, sin, and other judgments which apply only to actions that are freely chosen. It is also connected with the concepts of advice, persuasion, deliberation, and prohibition. Traditionally, only actions that are freely willed are seen as deserving credit or blame. There are numerous different concerns about threats to the possibility of free will, varying by how exactly it is conceived, which is a matter of some debate.
