The idea of the BRICS was formulated by Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, Jim O'Neill, in a 2001 study entitled "Building Better Global Economic BRICs". This was to bring the Eastern countries into a banking system that would mirror the Western banking system to better enable them to merge into a Global sysem long the dream of the Globalists.

[@Ace1000ks]

If the US wants to be full protectionist then consumption will decline in the US. At the same time, consumption will increase in BRICS countries. People want and need things, like vehicles, farm machinery, parts for vehicles, parts for machines, appliances, bicycles, motor scooters, electronics, parts/components, apparel, etc. As a result, the standard of living will increase in the BRICS countries, and it will decline in the US. The imports will still be flowing into the US, because they cannot produce a lot of the stuff they are importing. However, these products will cost more, and the people in the US will have less disposable income.

[@YouGotOptions2]

And THAT is a perfect recipie for more cheap labor immigration and automation. Smh

The strategy of the U.S. ruling class in the 1980s and 1990s was to effect a huge transfer of wealth from labor to capital. The strategy involved breaking the power of labor unions and moving industrial manufacturing out of the United States to low-wage countries. The strategy succeeded in its aim of greatly increasing the wealth of the owners of capital, and it also resulted in the fall of living standards for the working class. But at the same time the de-industrialization of the United States would lead inevitably to a decline of U.S. imperialist power. What kind of superpower has a declining industrial base for its mamoth military? What kind of superpower outsources the the manufacture of the components of its weapons to its adversaries? Trump therefore will try to re-industrialize but without an industrial policy like those used by Asian countries to build up their industrial economies. The only arrows in Trump's quiver are tariffs, sanctions, and outright theft of assets. He doesn't believe in science or education, so it's unlikely that he will invest in the human capital needed to re-industrialize the United States. The STEM gap between China and the United States will grow under Trump.

But that system was operated by the government. Templars were much closer to a private bank - albeit one owned by the Pope, allied to kings and princes across Europe, and run by a partnership of monks sworn to poverty. ^^^^^ that's from a BBC site and other sites say similar things.

Australian Supermarkets are importing sweetened condensed milk from LITHUANIA. I am terribly surprised. Too expensive to produce within Australia. Anyway I have no complaints, about half the price!!!!!

A consumerist economy requires a strong currency. China needs to let the Yuan appreciate against the USD and Euro.
