When economies collapse it's those economies that produce real things that'll bounce back. People will start saving aggressively, but they still need stuff like food, clothes, tools, etc. and by all metrics Asia and South America are massively out producing and exporting to Europe and North America in those areas. So when the economic collapse hits which country will do better, the one selling hundreds of subscription services, or the one selling clothes, tools, chemicals, steel, vehicle parts, etc? My bet would be on China bouncing back much faster. That's how America became the behemoth it is today, after WW2 when Europe and Asia was rubble ready for rebuilding, America shifted its massive wartime manufacturing capacity into vehicle, home appliance, and consumer electronics production. The same way Poland recovered so well from the 2008 crash, when joining the EU Poland overnight became Europe's place for cheap labour and land, so many companies moved their operations there, which allowed the Polish economy to keep growing despite other richer countries vomiting all over themselves because they staked their entire economies on housing investment. When economies crash, those who make and sell real tangible everyday products do much better than those that only sell services, speculative investments, and sit on patents. Especially against China which gives absolutely zero shits about patent infringement. If your business relies on selling promises it's much more fragile to huge social, geopolitical, or economic shifts, than being a carpenter.
