Took 1848 to 1918 for old empires go kaputt. The European Revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the Spring of Nations, Springtime of the Peoples [or the Year of Revolution, were a series of political upheavals throughout Europe in 1848. It remains the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history, but within a year, reactionary forces had regained control, and the revolutions collapsed. en.wikipedia.org But then, first decade of the last century every old empire bit the dust. This time around, started barely 3 years ago but it will be faster. Much faster. How many years Europe has still as a rich country? Japan? How many years? US and Canada will fare better for lack of cultural baggage that Europe and Japan have and are part of the Western Hemisphere which will raise as the new powers after Europe return to poverty. New Zealand and Australia will not do bad as satellites of China. Kind of Finland and Austria of this century

Hi Jack, China's addressing some of their problems... it just kind of compounds the lack of Global demand and the lack of organic growth except in small entrepreneurial pockets..... and the technologies they are producing are making a few humans more valuable and the other 65% less valuable in terms of the unique value proposition that they bring to the job-- paying workforce.... I believe I read today that Q2 earnings are said to have run something like a 7 to 1 ratio of negative comps compared to projections..... JP
