Don't laugh but this is not that far fetched idea and yes it would be better for the world economy. Being local is the future. It is green, employs more people locally and less hastle. This is coming. The multis may not like it but they are dinosarurs destined to extinction.
Quote from Martinghoul:
You don't quite get it, amico... Suppose I tell you that the US of A has broken up and each of the states has decided to go its own way? Do you think it's good or bad for the global economy?
