“Trade between nations is always Mercantilist. And always will be.
It’s the nature of man.”
Well, I’ve seen human nature and trade at their most unfettered after the fall of Saddam’s Iraq. I came to the conclusion that free trade is the fundamental commerce of human nature. However what everyone calls “free trade” today is anything but. It’s a scam.
The only free trade today is in black markets because all the legitimate markets are rigged.
I spoke of trade between nations, not within them.
His point was if a firm automates production then why are they ALSO moving overseas?
