Reply #90: The Great Depression was a worldwide event

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

If we go into a depression at home, I wonder what will happen if countries like China and India suddenly go into an economic stall of their own when out-of-work Americans can no longer buy as many of their products and western investors pull back their investments. It could involve civil unrest within many countries, and war outside, a world wide conflict between various powers to acquire the world's remaining resources. It could be worse than just an economic depression. It could result in another world war, only this time with more than two sets of allies and hundreds of millions of deaths.
