Modernism never left and socialist realism is a heck of a lot of work :/

the only artistic movement appropriate to our new gilded age is rococo, imo.

the global south has no incentive to bail out the global north out of a problem that's largely of it's own creation, and a crisis at the center of the global north will have direct effects on the heavy export-oriented economies of the global south. If China and India can successfully transition to a consumer economy, then they could pull up out of it and set themselves up as the new centers of global power, but that's only happening after a period of heavy instability, and no one is going to care about America anymore.

Well for Canada the high prices are being driven by factor such as rich mainlander chinese seeing cities line Vancouver as a escape from the firing squad type cities.

Also Canadian banks did get hit hard in the 2008 but got lots of secret bailout money from the US Fed/Canadian government to the tune of 114 billion dollars.

I think the entirety of northern India turning into a desert might scupper their plans, even in the scenario where that doesn't also trigger a nuclear war with Pakistan.

both india and china have major environmental problems on the horizon, but neither are intractable, and they're still going to come out of it having the largest populations on earth between the both of them, and they both still have fairly clear & obvious paths towards development & growth, with large enough tax bases to support those investments - that's more than most other countries can make a claim to.

but they're the only two the brics that are actually going to 'make it', Russia is a shitheap that's only going to get worse once Putin finally kicks it (and the system is set up for him to be irreplaceable), Brazil has major corruption problems (but is probably going to come out, like, average), and south africa isn't worth mentioning

art deco and apple design aren't really similar at all. art deco has all kinds of adornments that don't fit in that style. apple is more like bauhaus/modernism

Already a quarter of India is suffering from desertification - and accelerating climate change and the pressure to produce more on what land remains will further exacerbate this process. Northern India will become a desert of bleached bone, patrolled by Hindu death squads looking eradicating the last remnants of Muslim presence in India. This will not be good for the world economy.

IDK about data but in rural areas like mine the only reason that merely a large amount of people versus the majority ended up foreclosed on is because a lot of rural families live in old houses their family has owned for a long time, and in urban areas obviously most people don't actually live in houses anyway. And it's not like flipping an apartment tower is an easy thing

most of the places hit hardest by the housing crisis were in the west, where communities are often brand new and houses are less likely to be generational. it seems like the southwestern states (california, nevada, arizona), took most of the impact.
