NAFTA is part of the economic leveling that economists have expected
since the early days of GLOBALIZATION. I would predict that by the
year 2025, if not earlier, "professional" workers in the U.S., China,
India, Brazil, the E.U., and Russia will make similar salaries in
similar jobs. And this trend will work down through and to the lowest-
paid drudges throughout the world.
An adjunct of this leveling will be the increased intermingling of
national economies that we're seeing develop between the U.S. and
other former "adversaries," like Russia and China, in addition to the
E.U. and other economies. This phenomenon will combine with economic
leveling to forge a de facto global DETERRENT to war and conflict.
"ECONOMIC LEVELING" -- Our Future!
