Had the recession occurred 20 years and 1 day ago, do you think the Berlin wall still would have fallen?, With the Soviet Union not far behind it.
This popped into my head today after reading a report that China has been relatively unaffected by the recession. And this got me thinkin, Since in communism no one owns any property, this recession would have barely touched Communist countries, with the exception of trade. With this recession highlighting the defects of capitalism had it happened 20 years ago or so, would the Berlin wall have come down, and the change in central Europe and Russia been ushered in?
