| #3 China has been able to turn subsistence farmers into factory workers over the past 20 years. This is the basis for their current economic power. The US did this beginning over a hundred years ago. Jury is still out on the crowded urban impacts. Such issues as voting and the political implications, as well as the inability to subsist when the lights go out. Perhaps we should not go there. |
