Consider the plight of the Russians and Germans throughout most of the 20th century. Nothing gave until they busted out of the prison they had built for themselves.

There can be more than one asymptote, can't there?

The set of asymptotes approaches an asymptote.

So compared to elsewhere, its productivity is falling.

Expressible in build cost/unit. The only solution is to continue to make everyone poorer so that relatively the declining cost of Detroit's labor becomes competitive. Inadvertently, this is the solution America has chosen via the choice of DM.

black market in silk undies.

This extrapolation isn't germane. The situation hasn't become chaotic and isn't likely to do so. Slow takes away the bad DM would invent. The more bad that gets threatened to be applied, the slower things go.
