That's how the maths works though. If you are a farmer in Africa you buy one scythe for 10 dollars and your productivity increases by 100%

If you are a farmer in Denmark you buy the second tractor and your productity increases by 20%.

Also nothing was planned.

If rhis was planned then USA losing and China winning was planned too. Just globalization meaning everyone goes towards optimum

You're a free market fundamentalist.

This isn't an insult. I'm describing what I see. Someone who says "if you don't plan things will turn out the best possible" is a free market fundamentalist.

I am not a fundamentalist. I describe what happens - world is converging due to market forces.

Also free market? China is for example not open - you cannot fully own a company there as an investment.

EU market is converging towards optimum - and countries like Poland are still at 50% of level of Germany
