Had it not been for Chinese demand driving up the cost of scrap, Schnitzer would not have seen the soaring profits that allow it to employ more than 3,000 people. Or consider the Greek-American businessman I sat next to on a long flight to Hong Kong who was able to turn his small wedding boutique into a regional chain with his own line in department stores because of the efficiencies that flowed from making...
