If the internal economies of the Western nations have limits, there is
no evidence for them in any major economic indicator.  Disregarding
short-term fluctuations and compensating for inflation, the *internal*
trade and commerce of the Western nations is monotonic-increasing even
today, and has been for a number of centuries.  Remember, this is not a
zero-sum game we are talking about.
