<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1491747, member: 22143&quot;]OK I understand and it&#039;s an interesting question.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In my estimation it will blow up, literally.&nbsp;&nbsp; I base this on two capitalistic theories that I believe in.&nbsp;&nbsp; The first is that fundamentally new wealth (not talking currency or money) is created by only 3 things.&nbsp; You grow it, you dig it up, or you manufacture it.&nbsp; Everything else consumes wealth.&nbsp;&nbsp; People have mistakenly argued that the information age will replace production but I completely disagree with this.&nbsp; Information is useless unless it&#039;s used to enable and improve the above. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd theory is that given the above, the I will argue that production can never be completely one sided.&nbsp; That is, one country produces and another consumes.&nbsp;&nbsp; Once all the wealth is transferred from the consumers to the producers, then how do the producers get paid to continue their work?&nbsp;&nbsp; They will either stop production or they will come and take assets from the consumers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So given these two concepts and letting capitalism run freely and assuming this means that China is the only producer of manufactured goods in the world, then it can&#039;t last.&nbsp; Other countries, at some point, can&#039;t pay anything for China&#039;s goods, it won&#039;t matter how cheap they might be, and they have to stop buying.&nbsp; These countries will either resume their own production, possibly of vastly inferior but suitable products to fill the same purposes or they return to a pre-industrial state.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the real world, such things lead to revolution or war, and sometimes both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
