How not to die is a thought provoking piece in title and concept.  Written by Paul Graham, an expert on micro-finance and micro-entrepreneurship, it sounds a clarion call for economic survival in the hardscrabble world of Internet startups.  It may just be the formula we need to rebuild our production base in the Information Age. 

If a speech of this nature were to be given by the President of the United States an economic analogy with the Gettysburg Address <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nt-Z-PT5Xfo&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/Nt-Z-PT5Xfo&rel=0</a> (animation provided courtesy of ronh100) would not be out of line. 

Those who would rebuild the production base of the Information Age and who still believe in Yankee Ingenuity applaud Mr. Graham's fighting spirit.
