"OK. So why do you think that the US has failed to manufacture within its borders half of the stuff that the domestic market consumes Do you think that the top executives at say Dow Chemical or Eli Lilly or Ford Motor or Alcoa said you know let's stop producing. We can make more and better returns by becoming real estate companies or banks or insurance companies No of course that is not what they did. What they said was: our margins are being squeezed because we cannot expand sales like we used to in the US market because aggregate demand in the US economy has stagnated. Aggregate demand has"

"Of course it is longer than XX years. It started in the late 18th Century when Great Britain because of the invention of mechanized looms produced such an incredible surplus of fabric and clothing that it was impossible to sell it all in the UK.

Do you know"

"Stupid comparison. China was moving from a basic agrarian society to an industrial powerhouse over the time period while the US had already gone through its industrialization phase in the 1850 - 1950 period. If you measured the increase in carbon emission in the US during that time of industrialization you would see a similar increase"
