From your article: "Huntington concludes: "It appears probable that for most of history, China had the world's largest economy. The diffusion of technology and the economic development of non-Western societies in the second half of the 20th century are now producing a return to the historical pattern. This will be a slow process, but by the middle of the 21st century, if not before, the distribution of economic product and manufacturing output among the leading civilizations is likely to resemble that of 1800. The 200-year Western 'blip' on the world economy will be over." It is strange being a "blip." However, having lost our manufacturing capacity, it seems like your piece is very logical and well thought out, Ionesco. Thanks for sharing it!
