Maybe how much a country exports and imports isnt really a good measure of the soundness of its economy.
And maybe its not really meaningful to talk about countries competing.
I mean, compared to other things one could measure and talk about.
Maybe these questions deserve some consideration. Just a thought.
Except this article is supposed to be measuring the “Competitiveness of the economy”. Look at the title.
Not the health of the economy. Not anything else. COMPETITIVENESS.
Asia is eating our lunch on this. Have been for the entire last generation.
