But are there going to be any more goods moving around the world?

Possibly. Many don't buy alot of "stuff" because, when working they don't have the time to shop for values and don't want to overpay so many purchases never get made. Granted this sampling is from friends of mine here in the Silicon Valley with excess income is well above the survival level, but these are the people that will buy electronic goods that are not necessites.

Check this site out pw2.netcom.com
You can buy investment books there cheaper than you can at most discount book stores. The sales tax savings in Taxifornia alone usually pays for shipping. I had a list of books I wanted to read and this site made it easy for me to order them without taking a trip to a bookstore. I bought three, am reading the first and have the others on my shelf for reading later.

BTW, Contrarian Investment Strategies : The Next Generation : Beat the Market by Going Against the Crowd by Dreman is really good
amazon.com and many think the Bogle book is must reading.

Easy comparison shopping and information with just an hour or two of research rather than days of comparison shopping will probably bring incremental sales dollars. How many, that is an interesting question. I do think it will drive costs down for the consumers which will mean higher volumes and profits for those that are successful. This all needs technology hence HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, etc. will do well.
