During the /20s, in the United States, only about 10% of the population was engaged in the stock market. As long as there are capital markets, there can be speculation. But even in a command economy, there can be speculative investment in the sense that the government over- invests upon cheery assumptions in certain sectors. So there may or may not be a situation of malinvestment, but you have not proven there is none. I would not do more than point to worrisome trends.

Asserting that the disruption of the Chinese economy is my hope, my fantasy, is another of your boorish speculations on who I am and what my motives are. In fact, I would love to see China evolve economically, because it establishes a ground for social and political evolution, and I would rather emphasize the partnership aspect of our relationship than the competitive aspect.

In any event, I find your insult sufficiently offensive to take another Bilow break. Keep it up, and I may make it permanent.
