Wow. I had a similar thought- though not quite so clear as yours at the time. Even clipped the IMF alert- for possible posting. But instead let it slide.

Some random thoughts- not requiring any reply or even consideration.

Ramifications of large scale capital flows

Daimler bought Chrysler

FX: flow of funds weakened euro, increasing costs of imports to euro area

Chrysler suffered large net loss, enterprise value shrunk

Daimler Wealth lost to previous holders of Chrysler

Loss of wealth hurt previous holders of Daimler, likely German interests

Who got the benefit of the wealth transfer?
Americans?

For all we know, it could have been the Japanese... who see continued real wealth grow as a result of deflation and the existance of savings. Maybe the Japanese are truly smarter than we give them credit for. Maybe they are winning the competition for global wealth in a manner less than obvious. Through the slow accumulation of real wealth.
