"Free Trade" does not cause economic booms.

Demand causes booms, unless every textbook on the topic is dead-wrong.

Demand is generated by two things: population (that is, the number of people) and available cash.

Since US factory workers will soon have no cash, the recession which your post seems to ignore (that's 2000-present in the manufacturing sector) will continue and get worse.

The asian world is in the biggest economic boom in the history of the world. Make no mistake about it. You are also witnessing the greatest power shift(from america/europe to asia) in the history of the world.
