actually, monetary liquidity is responsible for most of the overseas growth; the middle classes are developing in Viet Nam, in Russia, even in Egypt & Iran of all places, via the 'free flow' of investment dollars from the Chinese & other countries with large holdings of foreign currencies. and, we as commodity investors (stock speculators) do well.
the irony in all this is that the American middle class will become more stressed with it's inability to compete for increasingly scarcer resources because of the weakening US$ & increased debt loads, public & private. another fly in the ointment to be considered is that the US infrastructure is 'dated'; the car culture & distant suburbs soon will no longer be the panacea of 'the good life'...it's progress will become prohibitively expensive!
the one thing that fluxes this scenario is the occasional burps out of republican administrations the last 25 years or so ago. the ill advised foreign forays & clumsy statesmanship have a tendency to destabilized the world in different ways causing a flight of safety into US$. it does seem as if this is the hammer the US has over the rest of the world.
