 One of the biggest threats in the next few decades to German and Chinese manufacturing – and intellectual property law – is going to be 3D printing  3D printers let any small firm or even a single person convert a design on a computer into a real, fit-for-purpose object very quickly and cheaply  3D printers are coming down rapidly in cost – just €30,000 for a model which can churn out a few thousand copies  If there is going to ever be a long-term serious, perhaps fatal, threat to Germany’s Mittelstand it could be this  It will be equally threatening for the US and Britain as it makes Intellectual Property Law irrelevant

 Currently oil is rising in price by 15-20% per year. Hence: 1. Food is also rising in price by 15-20% per year 2. Raw materials (copper, iron, phosphorous) are rising in price by 15-20% per year 3. Transporting anything from anywhere to anywhere is rising in price by 15-20% per year  The problem is our incomes are NOT rising by 15-20% per year. So we are all going to become much poorer!!!
