Yes, in my opinion it didn't happen organically.

In the 2000s China was integrated tightly and the eurodollar bloomed.

China became dollar shock absorber & reserve sink.

Offshoring + overcapacity = disinflation buffer → more room for USD debt growth.

If they kept most of the jobs in the US, they wouldn't be able to QE + ZIRP, otherwise inflation would skyrocket.

From Lyn Alden's latest newsletter:
- "....This is because nearly 90% of stocks are held by the top 10% of society, and that same 10% of society performs nearly 50% of all consumer spending."

I knew that 90% of stocks are held by the top 10%, but didn't know that the top 10% performs 50% of all consumer spending.

This is how you get to QE infinity without having record-high inflation - almost everyone is broke because the manufacturing jobs are in China.
