### Comment:
&gt;But come on, if the EU collapses, it's gonna cause a global recession that will make 2007 look like a picnic. 
  
 It doesn't have to. There was no recession in Japan in 1945. Why? The Central Bankers did not want a recession at the time. GDP growth dropped only 0.7%, from 8% to 7.3%. If losing a World War only has to cause a 0.7% GDP drop then abolishing the EU should cause a 0.1%-0.2% drop in GDP maximum.

### REPLY:
You need a GDP that's not dependant on services. 
  
 Japan had factories that, you know, factoried. 
  
 The lack, rather, limited amount, of goods produced means major disruption as imports demand payment.
