On the other hand we have to see that the money is not bundled, stamped and shipped to china in large container vessels... so I think we are as far away from a free market then we are from communism.
In the moment we see a large export of work to china, india and eastern europe - with only one reason - cheap labor.
As a reaction we keep up consumption in the US by printing money. Over here in the EU we go one step further - we don't consume.
If you look at the global picture we (US /Europe) are a little bit in the shit.
didn't want to say it's the government that should solve that problem - because if they where any wiser they had a propper job in the beginning.
I thnk everyone is in a little bit of $hit. The Chinese situation is unenviable, same in Russia and S. America. I guess the French are in some of the deepest.
