NEW DELHI, MAY 25: Days after the Chennai-born PepsiCo president Indra Nooyi made 'condescending' remarks against America terming it as the middle-finger and hailed Asia as the emerging power in the horizon, another power woman, Carly Fiorina, once touted as the most powerful launched into a severe criticism against the American mindset.
Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club on last Monday, the former HP chief warned that the US will not be able to effectively compete in today's global economy as long as Americans feel they are enbreastled to a job, Detroit News reported.
"We don't have a realistic sense of what's happening in the world around us," Carly said. "This is a different world than what we imagined five years ago."
"Absolutely nothing about our future is inevitable or guaranteed," Carly said, especially with countries such as China, India and Russia adding 300 million workers to the global economy.
US jobs will continue to go overseas and the nation's status will slip unless America accepts and capitalises on the changing workforce and invests in its educational system, especially in key areas such as math and science, Carly said.

While every job is useful, America must realise it is competing against countries that want to work and have the skills necessary to do the same jobs done here, Carly told the audiance.
Carly was sacked after the HP-Compaq merger planted and HP's market value fell drastically.
Her message, delivered with charisma and forcefulness, is what has made Carly a much-desired speaker in the months following her high-profile departure from Hewlett-Packard, Detroit News observed.
While Nooyi invited criticism from many quarters in America and the blogs went gung-ho against her comments for which at last she had to apologise, there is no report of any trouble for Carly so far.
