Jay/Spot: Lets say China collapse: How long the collapse lasts? One month? one year?
Collapses today are short lived. Asia's lasted 36 months. Argentina collapse lasted, 24 months. Before collapses were really long lived. LATAM took a decade to come back again.

But there won't be any collapse: The tendency is for capital to spread evenly. If China is concentrating it, the tendency is to spread from there. Can't hog it.

China hogging capital is as bad as it is for the US, Europe and Japan. Once there is too much of it, it starts being misused. Once it tries to go away, people feel the outwards pull and start using it more wisely and out flow reassert itself.

Hence a post-Keynesian regime makes sure that capital percolates every nook and cranny of the world’s economy, thus avoiding collapse.

China won't collapse because those millions of newly urbanites are not going to pack their bags and head back to the rice field. The only thing that happens is the country to hit its head on the ceiling as it grows too fast and some parts of the construction are neglected.

It won’t collapse because this means Balkanization. The capitalist revolution in China was intended to avoid it doing a USSR split.
