If this would be the case we would have this already. Capitalism
always goes to where productivity is maximum. Capitalism does
concentrate production of many commodities in relatively few places
and this is not by chance. One reason is that specialized machinery is
located in one place and another reason is that specialized know-how
is located in one place.
Once more IMHO reality proves you wrong.
You can see that today we are increasingly facing the omnipresence
of specialized machinery and specialized know -how. So there are
less and less competitive advantages of places. Little and
insignificant differences begin to count. Robert Kurz calls this
"irregular production on the base of occasional streams from the
finance bubble based on speculation".
China has demonstrated how fast things can change in this
world nowadays if you are reckless enough. A Global Virtual
Factory has emerged whose components can be relocated to
wherever somone opens better conditions.
This is not a point supporting centralisation or decentralisation.
There is virtually no place on earth where capitalism pays
"honest costs of production". And ex definitione there cant be.
