>A dozen years later the relative values have shifted a LOT. Americans have gone wayyyyyyy down in price as measured in gold. Are they really worth that much less? With a billion Chinese and a billion Indians now bidding for work, a quite large price cut was reasonable, but that's a big price cut, not the usual 20% or 30%.>

Did russian workers become 1/30th the value of american workers between 1993 and 2000? Check the the graph for that period here:

That was not a 20 percent decline, it was a 95%+ decline. When companies (countries) go bankrupt, investors can lose such large percentages. So what is to say it cannot get worse against gold?
