The United States prospers on the impoverishment of emerging countries and Europe

Since 2013, the United States’ fiscal and external deficits have been financed by: Capital outflows from emerging countries (excluding China), which end up in US Treasuries; The euro zone’s external surpluses, which are also largely invested in US Treasuries. Investment and growth in the United States are therefore boosted by the weakening of : E merging countries, where capital outflows reduce domestically investible funds and worsen the terms of trade; T he euro zone, whose excess savings finance investment and spending in the rest of the world and in particular in the United States , instead of being retained for more investment in the euro zone. How could emerging countries and the euro zone react? In the case of emerging countries, with capital controls; in the case of the euro zone, by using its savings to invest domestically .
