Money talks but goods are not our primary export. Entertainment is. Further, we export the WWE more than anything else. Just think, the beacon of American culture is the WWE? It is easy to blame Hollywood for our problems but just as Schneier points out, the television is the primary storyteller these days, even in some impoverished countries. If our primary export is a fictitious representation of our society, then people start believing it. Just another angle.
