No economy is going to grow together well or easily. The US Civil War was of an economic nature, as are all wars.
Abolishing slavery was down the list on priorities. The main issue was to force the South to purchase manufactured goods from the North rather than sell cotton to Europe.
There will be a lot of tumult as everyone jockeys for position but I think the process has started and there's no turning back. The US has an empire to protect, the Chinese are going to flex a lot of muscle, the Indians aren't beholden to anyone and are the worlds largest democracy, there will be some tense and interesting times.
Factor in the effect of global warming on food production over the next 100 years while the initial phases of the global integration of economies is taking place and it's a mess. Droughts and famines, underproduction of everything except people and overproduction of them will have nations acting like starving wolves.
