"Our economy in it's present state is unsustainable. Globalization and international loans have tied each countries' future to a Rube Goldberg-like mechanism in which interpersonal dependency is only matched by interpersonal competitiveness and enmity. But, if, for instance, France or Germany is forced by some disaster or other to default on their international, the resulting domino collapse will shatter economies from Bonn to Beirut."

And let's say that one major economy did collapse. What makes you believe that there would be a domino effect?

I mean, I have not read anything like this before.
