one thing everyone must understand is it aint GDP anymore, it is moving towards a GNP where the businesses are diversified & the production is done in many countries under the same brand name (toyota, sony, nokia... etc) so the production of a partner country is responsible a portion of the GNP of the mother country. that is how Nokia owns abt 40% of the GNP of Finland.
It is highly questionable whether we still can deal with these things on the traditional economies of scale as majority of the markets/economies are fucked up & economists all over the world are unable to find the proper solution ( yeah u can argue with all ur theories, reduce the deficit.. increase exports.. balance BOP.. etc etc.. but y the those solutions doesn't have a considerable impact on a nation/market is something to think abt)
