The growth is not there. Saturated markets. Stagnated. Would you invest in Germany? A country that's seeling gold to plug gaps?

Car sales in Brazil are up 31% this year, on top of 28% growth in 2007, as the economy booms.

This is what it matters. Inflated economies must be cut back to real size. How much of Japan's GDP is gambling? How much does a hair cut costs in Stutgart?

If people had looked to the US in the past 6 and a half years undert the perspective that: have peaked. Was in its way down. Reality would have settled and countermeasures had been taken, and no war had taken place.

Japan was going to take over the world in the 80's, Then lo what has been happening there in the past 15 years.
None did. See the results. Champions of sports that won't be in the next Olympic games.

Countries way passed the demographic window are of no consequence.

Germany: worked for over 20 years for Siemens. The country I most stayed in and had my biggest share of friends.

The guys that made this Germany you described, went into retirement and then into early retirement. The Germans of today are not the Germans of the post war period who made that economi miracle.

Set of circumstances that made that Germany are no longer there. They will still be considered wealthy for 10 years max. then they will roll back into the lower ranks.

had not yet rolled back because they are formidable export juggernaut. hell bent on export to the merging markets.
