Japan her assets were overvalued at one period due to the amount cash that was being created primarily due to exports. Because we are not heavily exporting now we are in maintaining slower growth we buy outside what we need outside to our plus. I think trade balance is world balance and just how we achieve that fairly is the question. Import export quotas don't always sound fair if you remove all restrictions than free enterprise in due time will solve the problems the best products for the least cost. But in doing so you politically create problems Ideally there should be a balance between nations so there is not a surplus the problem is in my mind that you have currency that can't compete with each other plus labor costs that fluctuate from nation to nation You cant create demand that is an internal mechanism but you can control supply and perhaps appease you neighbors tho long term I do not feel this is ideal Free trade is the solution in my mind but then how can one justify the poverty that lies with in certain nations and the plight of their peoples ? Just how do you designate who provides what needs or that the specific thing you designate will be a needed item three years hence. Question to Question i tried.
