Being isolated is bad for capitalism. Very bad .How do you mean? The USSR failed miserably. Pretty big country.Isolated countries fail economically.I'm 100% for it. Regardless we have to continue exports to maintain our status as world power, otherwise we'd give that status to China. If countries were to become isolated, then yes, no country would complete with the USA, we'd be set.
I think we should also end foreigners owning U.S. real estate. That said millennial's already screwed the pooch on that one. Many figured they were above property ownership. They didn't take into account they'll be paying the Chinese rent in the form of 5Kish by their 60th B-days.
To be fair, there has never been an isolated country on a scale of the US.
AND, as we seen to be destined to be fucked by any trading partner, isolation could be a competitive policy.
THe choice seems to be either be the world's bitch, or take our ball and go home.
Failed because they tried to have a big empire AND we fought them.
Not because they were isolated.
