Something died in the Globalized World when that first JAL Dreamliner delivery took off. The inter-world supply chain failed and failed spectacularly so (breakeven 2018, anyone?). The trend may be irrevocable but there will be "bumps" along the way. Let's have a summit!

Of course it just may be that globalization is its own cycle. China once sailed the known seas.

"Exports have stalled near record highs." --That's a bad thing? That's what we (and they) want.

Chinese manufacturing wages and a ratcheting currency is another word for econmist's favorite word, "balance."

The Middle-Class shot heard 'round the world. Economist sees crisis of leadership possibly as symptom of emergent middle-class values.

To what extent is this further mirrored in Europe and US?

China just posted 9.5%, ahead of the "perfect" 8%, with 30% increase on tax receipts while being priced for not mere slowing but financial breakdown. And crude stays safely above $90, which takes care of the MidEast. And those together power core europe, which sustains europe which is being priced for financial collapse. India is always india. EEM Inflation (cotton, rice, coal) is falling from critical levels while deficit balancing wage increases are ratcheting up. Which leaves us, US, as the key question mark. Can we grow as a follower? Nope. Can we grow period? ISM's pointing in the right direction while Sentiment plumbs '09. Goldman just cut its forecast yesterday while openly wondering what got us in this funk. Look around.

It's summer, no time for depression. Idea

WSJ reports that multinations shifted employment overseas. During the 2000’s, they hired 2.4
mln workers internationally and cut the domestic workforce 2.9 mln. The story suggests a major shift from the decade before.

I'm not on board with this "zietgeist" but this is as good as any explication of it:

For myself, $100 crude is making the world a much rounder place.

Humans have always been and always will be tribal. Positive, not normative.

BTW it's foolish to make your barber mad. It's OK to make your stylist or cosmetologist mad, because hair grows back, but your barber? Not. Not the guys that use straight razors ...
