I suppose I meant Germany instead of "wealthy countries. It's not a great idea to destroy your own markets.

Is it the same thing Walmart is doing by grossly underpaying its own workers? See Henry ford.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

The German chattering classes flatter themselves that they'll be able to export to China what the rest of the EU doesn't import.

Also, they tell Spain that it should export more to Latin America.

So, Germany wants the largest economy in the world to apply deflationary policies at home and export unemployment to the rest of the world. We could call this the 'small open economy syndrome', for Germany (let alone Europe) may be an open economy, but it surely isn't small.
