world we can cross off the buyers list and many of the other areas are unto corporations and do not plan to play their game. EU for one still has their own industrial base in place and is working very hard to become independent not only in energy but in many other areas. Asia is becoming a large consumer but they also have many areas where they are working on independence. South and Central America are beginning to unite and are flexing their muscles. All these areas are pulling together. All except the US. We think we can treat Canada and Mexico like inferior siblings and they will stick with us but I would guess that both will eventually refuse to be part of bullying the world.

I agree that Corporations are trying to set up a border free economic world but that is exactly what is pushing all these areas to unite for survival. Globalization was going to be one world wide business venture led by the big US corporations who would use cheap labor from other countries and tax loopholes from off shore islands to gouge the consumers of the world. It appears as if some nation/areas are not all that interested.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that there will not be world trade - I am just saying that nations are not so willing to give up their power.
