Very good question. My insight is that the boom is being fueled by the cycle I described. What would happen if one or more BRIC countries faltered? Tough to say really. China's recession or market crash would have the largest negative effect on the rest of the world. Probably would need more than 1 country crashing to have a big worldwide effect. The emergence with the BRIC countries, there will be more fires to put out or collectively, the other countries can shoulder the fall?

Interesting viewpoint that it might be the BRIC countries that might be the cycle breaker. The world economy is so interlinked now. Do you think with the emergence with the BRIC countries, there will be more fires to put out or collectively, the other countries can shoulder the fall? Hi gerry,

I actually fear that the last sentence of the article is somewhat correct. I wonder how much of the emerging market boom is due to Pollyannish cycle of "we build, so we need commodities/materials, so our commodities/materials economy goes up, so we build more, so we need more commodities/materials..." If this cycle breaks at some point, we may get a severe worldwide recession. And the cycle breaker may not be USA anymore. It may be one or more of BRIC countries Regarding decoupling from USA.
