<<Depression originated in the US and spread to other countries that suffered the effects of a crisis they did not cause>> and depression, with asset and gdp benchmarked against price of gold, started in 2000/2001 even as maurice mq the village singularity kept looking around aimlessly and ranting, "where is the collapse? no collapse yet?" accompanying cb ilaine's "we are rich, we are so rich" people with fully functioning eyes but cannot see, and folks with large dimension brain cage but cannot think, all part of the sorry script as far as the usd, the later the better, for it gives the faithful more time to hoard gold and the worthy more time to aggregate platinum besides, there is still much goodness to transfer from usa domain, and so might as well do it, go with the flow

The world is too disjointed and fractured to unite against the US hegemony and thus the reserve currency. China can rattle the currency cage but they're an impotent giant against Uncle Sam. Europe is in its perpetual sickbed and Russia has been contained and leashed. Japan is America's lapdog and the Pacific is an American lake. There won't be multi-polarity anytime soon and there was a reason why Lehman forced to fail. Lehman was the linchpin (well, I'd call it a secret weapon) to destabilize the world and thus maintain US hegemony for the next few generations. The world need multipolarity not to depend on economic policies they have no control. The USD as reserce currency is the most dangerous liability the world face today.

Your new theory that "the 1929 economic depression began in what was at the time the very small economy of the United States and spread to the rest of the world because 4.5% of this small U.S. GDP was involved in world trade" is your wackiest to date. Since Brazil now has a similar GDP to the small 1929 economy of the US, and the percentage of the Brazilian economy involved in world trade is double at 9%, I can see why you now conclude that the current global economic depression is being caused by Brazil. Using your lack of sense, in another 80 years, no doubt, the next economic depression / deleveraging will be caused by an old woman who lives in a shoe, whose personal income is then equal to Brazil's economy today, when she has so many children she doesn't know what to do. She will give them some broth without any bread and then whip them all soundly and put them to bed -- thus creating a global economic depression. Due to the global presence of the insular American media today, naive persons like yourself can incorrectly be led to the conclusion that WW-I, the Great Depression, and WW-II were exclusively American affairs which had little connection to the rest of the world. In fact, America was just a small player in the global build-up of debt and resulting collapse. America emerged as a power after WW-II once the economy of many other nations around the world were devastated. .
