Interesting how they manage to go from simplified Geography 101 to today's financial crisis without touching reality in between.

I am glad for the geography lesson, as it explains why Japan and Austrailia are some of the poorest countries in the world, and Egypt (that big long river, you know) is one of the better off places.

He does have a point about Russia having no major natural barriers - except for the shear distance and Russia's dear friend, General Winter. Having defeated both Napolean and Hitler, the distance, winter and vast size of the Russian population have a pretty good track record.

I guess this also explains why China was never a rich civilization for more than a few thousand years.

If all the available capital is funneled to the state, where are all these business people who saved up their money to start their business getting their funds ? Isn't all the money supposed to be used for the Number 16 Truck Axel Factory ?
