Detroit and Kaifeng

Jsut like two peas in a pod. So says Bill Bonner.

Instead, maybe, the city [Detroit] will join the ranks of the dead, along with Ctesiphon, Mesa Verde, Presepolis, Kish, Harappa, Babylon, Sodom, and Gomorrah. Soon, its apartments and mansions may sell for no more than places in Mapungubwe, Tiahuanaco, Tyre, Nineveh, Troy, Golconda and hundreds of other defunct metropolises.
