A country that does not produce for its own won’t last.

Thus my screen name.

Like to note that Sweden got really good at producing a single product for sale ~ iron ore ~ which went to England.

They kept some of it to make guns. They formed the Swedish Empire around the care and use of that single product ~ which was a very good product for its day.

Later on they actually started to think they were smart and good and all that and next thing you know the whole Empire belonged to other people.
