That crackup is already underway in the currency wars aptly named by Jim Rickards, and you can bet that soon enough it will lead to the death of the 12,000-mile supply lines from China to WalMart \u2014 eventually to the death of WalMart itself (and everything like it). Another result will be the interruption of oil export supply lines.<\/p>\n<p>The USA as currently engineered (no local economies, universal suburban sprawl, big box commerce, despotic agribiz) won\u2019t survive these disruptions and one might also wonder whether our political institutions will survive. The crop of 2016 White House aspirants shows no comprehension for the play of these forces and the field is ripe for epic disruption. The prospect of another Clinton \u2013 Bush election contest is a perfect setup for the collapse of the two parties sponsoring them, ushering in a period of wild political turmoil.
