A lot of things changed in last 6 years since I wrote this article. We now have a new president, new policies, and priorities of his administration.

Slowly and gradually I noticed a lot of Americans are now buying American, growing American and making in America. Some started boycotting Chinese goods.

The difference is not much, and I am sure the work division is least among other countries.

A country is an organization of individuals—when something affects the country, it also affects the individuals, and vice versa. Thus, it would be untrue to say that if recession or boom hits a country, individuals are not affected by it.
