The economy is about competition

[kotajikikox]

One country's decline is a benefit to another one. It might sound cold and selfish but the truth is that if one economy is declining, you can use this to your advantage. If one country has a failing economy and they can no longer produce high quality products and their trade is losing significance then another country can sweep in and give better offers. This is simply the reality and so economy should not have emotions in because it will not do you good. If you want to improve your financial state, you have to compete. This is true even with smaller scale marketplace. Not a country's but let's say in one city. If one seller fails to deliver good products, you can sell better ones and take their customers. There is no space in the economy for soft hearted because everything is a competition. You have to compete for resources. You have to compete for demand. You have to compete for customers.

Like what do you even mean by "economy should not have emotions"? Can you elaborate on what in what countries economies have emotions? I might have a clue what you are talking about, but i don't want to jump to conclusions

If you are referring to aid programs, those are merely good PR and it benefits everyone to stabilize different regions. It's just more or less closed and sanctioned countries that benefit from decline of their competition. In free trade countries, we mostly benefit if every country of the supply chain is doing well.

The fact is that the sky is big enough for every and anybody to dwell together without necessarily being at a log ahead with one another. if as a company or firm you are able to build your brand in such a manner that it speaks for itself, you do not need to expect another brand to fail just because you want to see yours doing well.

Even when you look at it from the angle of different nations thriving to be be more relevant,  you still have to recognize the fact that every nation has areas where they are good in. some might be Agriculture, others might just be oil and gas, some medical and others might be tech. without seeing yourself as though you are competing against any nation, a nation can concentrate on building her natural resource and focusing just on her strength. that way, it becomes you fighting against yourself and not waiting to take advantage on the weakness of any other nation.

If a country economy is having challenges it shouldn't have to affect there quality manufacturing because there should be sufficient resources for it, unless they intentionally decided to do it on the excuse of bad economy, at that time if there is something they should be more focus on is the quality because that is were some revenue will be originated from so actually if they cannot do that the people they usually supply to will find another country who could do better than them. Improvement is the new state we are because as a country who knows what bad economy could cause they wouldn't want to have it because it will cause a poor internal improvement on them.

When a country is facing economic meltdown or heading to recession that should be an opportunity for them to act wisely by improve in many things, like the standard of goods they produce, making sure to increase there production capacity, any country in economic mess, should not think of substandard goods because countries they do business with are wise too, any funny move can lead them to slide further because looking for new consumers will be a problem unless they will have to reduce the price of the goods which will not be healthy for economic that's such already, there should be strategic planing and implementation.

Economically the world is a global market.  Just as businesses are competing for market share, nations also try to outsmart each other. The competition is so fierce that it could lead to attacks to sabotage economies. China became the second biggest economy because it took advantage of its population and technological development to take over the market share of many countries. With cheap labour and fast production speed China was able to produce cheap quality products. Many countries had to diversify into other areas while they depended on China for diverse products.

It's not actually the complete truth, you may have a point but you aren't putting it in the right way. It will be better this way if your have written that a country who benefits from another country will always be happy if that country is in steady decline, but a country who isn't exploiting another country has no reason to be happy or benefits from them having economical problem.
The country who celebrates the wretchedness and political mismanagement of a country are either their previous colonisers or a country who is exploiting them.

One country's decline is a benefit to another one.

That depends on the exact nature of the trade between the two nations and is not necessarily true.

Often you have the situation that one country supplies a certain number of goods while the other one is stronger in another group of goods. Examples are Argentina-Brazil, US-Europe, Europe-China. Thus, if in such a constellation country A is having a decline, it will also affect the demand from goods from country B, and thus it is not necessarily positive.

Only if there is much overlap between the goods produced by both countries, and at least one of the countries isn't really importing goods from the other one (and thus doesn't affect demand on their goods) then there may be an opportunity for a country to capitalize from others' decline.

In general, often the general rule is the opposite: the stronger all countries are, the better the opportunities for a single (export-oriented) country to also improve.

This does not mean that the thread title is incorrect, but the OP's view is far too simplistic.

The collapse of one country isn't always beneficial to another. If a country supplies other countries, it can mean losses for the entire ecosystem involved. Countries often owe each other money; this is part of the economy. If a debtor country goes bankrupt, it means default and losses for the creditor country. Therefore, I don't believe one nation can root for the collapse of another.

Regarding competition, it's normal and even healthy when countries improve their production, technology, and other aspects. This creates opportunities for choice, competitive prices, and better products.

See signature campaign, not everyone get accepted, as simple as that.

If one country has a failing economy and they can no longer produce high quality products and their trade is losing significance then another country can sweep in and give better offers. This is simply the reality and so economy should not have emotions in because it will not do you good. If you want to improve your financial state, you have to compete.

Personally I think this is a soft competition, it's fair the country only want to get the high quality products, unfortunately this country can't meet the standard. What about other country hijacking in the last minute before the trade deal? how about other country intentionally harm the product? how about other country making a false information to ruin the trade? etc.

These thing I called the real competition, even you're right, other people might see you're wrong.

The main thing in economics is money. So how you improve your business organization or how you benefit yourself economically should be your personal strategy and that strategy should not be harmful to others.
Countries are also competing with each other to improve economically. Basically, it is difficult to do anything good without competition. Be it education or business or country.

The country who celebrates the wretchedness and political mismanagement of a country are either their previous colonisers or a country who is exploiting them.

With how the world has been ordered there are countries that no matter what efforts they give into boosting their economy to be competitive they can't excel beyond their colonisers who have crafted an existing system of structure that is made to keep the former colonies dependent economically.

The economic competitions are patterned between the dominant countries, and between the weak countries. It is in this strata that the competitions are equal with the benefits. The opposite has been of unequal benefits the weaker countries soft-soaped into conditions that will never create an expansive development to her economy to be self-sufficient and indepe of their exploiters.

I ever read this on social media "if you're in the competitive situation where there are so many people want the same thing like you, you're in the right place".

I understand it now, almost all people want the most shiny thing, there's no way people wouldn't want that. If you can't survive in the competition to get that, you must able to accept to lower the thing you want.

It might be not the most shiny, but it could be just shiny, a bit shiny or no shine at all, the lower the quality, the lower the competition.

[Solodoski]

Economy is definitely a competition and it has been this way since time immemorial. Like you mentioned if a seller fails to deliver to his or her client, it very possible that a competitor can seize the opportunity and take his clients or customers. It is very important that you have to stay competitive all time if you don't want to be left behind. Customers or clients are always looking for where to get goods and services when they need it and if you can't deliver,  it's definitely your lose, because other competitors will definitely deliver the goods and services. That's why most countries practice competitive market or economy,  so the clients or customers have options and not depend on only one producer.

[Y3shot]

If I am the leader of my country and I'm trying to improve the economy for the benefit of my people, how does it become competition? Do you mean that if you are poor and you have people around you who are working very hard to make money, and if you need support or a loan you can get from them, they are competition for you? The truth is that as a country, if the economy is very bad, you will always rely on other countries whose economies are doing well; there is nothing like competition.

 Countries that are working very hard to improve their economies see the reasons why they are doing so, and those who can't put their economy in good shape should never see it as competition.

[YOSHIE]

One country's decline is a benefit to another one. It might sound cold and selfish but the truth is that if one economy is declining, you can use this to your advantage.

Not like that a country experiences an economy plummeted, if they have abundant natural resources, how to compete like you mentioned that individual competition, the country is not the case.

If another country experiences a bad economy, they can strengthen relations through trade agreements with other countries or cooperation in economic management and natural resources in that way a country that has economic problems can be Expanding international market access, of course this can improve their economy again, the method is often done by developing countries such as Russia and Italy, Germany imports goods and is included in the United States in the field of liquid or raw natural gas with Russia, as well as other countries such as China and so on.

The point: the state does not compete in negative matters of fighting over each other, the state is not individual, they have defense and international law, not as economically as people sell food with people selling beverages next to each other. fighting over each other.

You outlined many things that happens in competition, the truth is without competition in the economic settings some nations will want will just feel that they can offer it all whichever way to the countries they do business with, so is either you do it better as an individual country or other serious countries that can do it better with good offers and good negotiation style take you out of business then you learn the hard way, in competitive economy everyone wants to improve their standards on daily bases, no one aren't ready to give give a way for because if you do, you might be surprised to see the otherwise, although depending on one producer may result to disappointment that's why consumer countries try as much as possible to get wilder options.

[Stalker22]

To be honest, I just do not buy it. Who really wins when an economy is in the toilet?  No one! Laid-off workers, companies struggling to make ends meet, and suddenly everyones pockets feel a little emptier! Fewer customers results in less sales and more stress and we see a dip in the global market, not just in the country under consideration.  And when there is a collapse in trade in the one country, it doesnt mean that there is another winner, or that they get a free ticket to success because of the collapse.  The whole pie just gets smaller. No one wins, it is a lose-lose honestly.

An example I am assuming (I am not OP) is that, if a whole Walmart opens near a mom and pop shop, economy should not care about them at all, they should not be looking at what the yare looking at, they should be considering their own profit.

Walmart is not responsible for what is going on with what happens to that mom and pop shop, it could be bankrupting and taking a whole family down and making them starve, it could get as bad as it gets, and we would be doing something terrible, but there is no emotion when finances are just numbers.

So we should definitely avoid that as much as possible if we feel human at all, but they are just not doing that, and that's the most obvious reason why we are seeing this.

It can't really be exactly under their control. Because bad economy will cause a domino effect and they are always going to have to make some sacrifices because they can no longer supply for quality products because they can no longer afford it. Or something. You can only do so much with a failing economy.
