先前读的时候感觉似乎不对劲儿，咱现在明明economy is recovering，怎么说是recent turmoil呢，结果发现这篇文章写于Dec 2008，难怪....
我先前把开头的parallel & contrast的具体内容理解错了，是present vs. Great Depression (1930s) 的对比。文章开头部分的逻辑，我理解得不太准。
Historical data那部分，我写的"GDP from 1929-1937: rised at first half, then plunged"，这个不准确。不过我发现原文有个graph，看上去一目了然，确实比文字叙述清楚。
最后，"Economic adversary"应该是"Economic adversity"

这篇文章挺经典的，谢谢狐仙jj推荐~

MI: to advocate cooperates to invest in innovations during the economic downturn

1. Opening: in current economic lows:
1) parallel: listing a bunch of economic indicators
2) non-parallel: actions of IMF...potential growth opportunities
Raise a question: HOW? Let's learn from the history -

2. Illustration: historical example of the great depression
(1). overall trends:
GDP from 1929-1937: rised at first half, then plunged
patent application was approximately one-year lagging. In the 1930s, the # of patent application is at historical low.
Data indicates that the majority of companies cut their funding on the R&D, in line with the economic output (GDP).

(2). However, it turned out that the companies that had greatly invested in R&D during the depression finally became the winner.
Example: DuPont   synthetic rubber  
1937: issued into market
1939: overriding market coverage
outcomes: a great success
similar examples: HP, ...

3. Lessons learned:
Economic adversary is a double-edged sword: while it places harsh challenges to all the companies, it provides an precious opportunity for the real good ones - the ones with money and ideas - to stand out, to survive, and to leave their rivals far behind.
Advocacy: invest in technological innovations during this gloomy economy.

MI: During the downturn of recession period, the companies should invest more on innovation rather than decrease its development.
1. In 2008, the economy faces the turmoil, which can reminds us the lesson from the history of Great Depression in 1930s in US.
2. Compare with 1930s, many companies invested on innovation in 1920. However, this trend started to decrease since the Great Depression of 1930s, since many companies cut the costs and loss revenue.
a. However, some companies did the opposite as compared with the most other companies. Dupont, one of these companies, continued to invest in innovation and designed the component of Neprene, a component which later was used widely by most airplane companies.
b. Another company H& developed new Nascent TV market and eventually turned its bad situation into profitable one.
3. These examples cannot be the sole illustrations to represent all other companies, however, this is a sign that the companies should continue to invest in innovation even during the recession in order to boost the economic market.

0‘58讲爱尔兰人到美国的移民，说爱尔兰太穷了，于是都有一个美国梦
0’51先讲在美国的居住状况，举例说明很差。然后引用芝加哥一个报纸（专有名词），再然后是举个例
0‘51爱尔兰人在美国都做的是底层的工作，不管男人还是女人。同时他们都很受欢迎
0’48爱尔兰的移民的地位十分特殊，他们热爱美国，但并不放弃爱尔兰，他们痛恨英国，同时两次想要侵略加拿大
0‘55开始讲转变了？
