Maybe i should post a recipe for red herring
I asked a simple question, had you asked me the same question about the
USA i would have answered in the affirmative.
IF GB is importing "cheap commodities" that should be taken up with the
powers that be in GB and not blame others for actions the Brits take.
And since you seem to be under a misapprehension i did not suggest,
quite the contrary actually, that the USA is in any way impervious to
the global markets and recessions.
Im not interested in placing any theoretical blame for anything, i was
merely asking for information regarding the sustainability of present
population levels in GB.
Ever read Thomas Malthus?
"a front page Wall Street Journal article in March 2008 pointed out various
limited resources which may soon limit human population growth because of
a widespread belief in the importance of prosperity for every individual
and the rising consumption trends of large developing nations such as
China and India."
