Is free trade between countries the same as between individuals?

The Tiger Economies proved that wrong dear boy.

 

wrong of course they were just modernizing, not innovating. They will go the way of Japan ie living off of American innovation and direction.

 

as I said "a low tax". Any more silly questions? Too bad the idiotic Brits were not excited about the military before they got bombed to smitherines. Good to get lessons from you on this!!

 

Chortle, chortle! They were industrialising, thereby ensuring dynamic comparative advantage. Bit obvious really, given the importance of trade.

 

What does this low tax entail? Come on, don't be scared with detail!

 

Why would anybody be scared?? Conservatism would love a simple 15% tax on all personal income with no deductions.

 

any industrialization they did was mearly copying American innovation. Obviously communist bureaucrat monopolists have no idea on gods green earth what industries to support any more than you do.

 

So you don't mind that a linear tax will ensure regressivity and effective marginal tax rates on the lower paid that discourage work? Golly!

 

Again, you're clueless how comparative advantage works. It's not about innovation. It's about lower average costs generated through accumulated output

 

economic growth comes from innovation and government communist monopolist bureaucrats have no idea where Innovacion should be supported. Always keep in mind economic growth from the Stone Age to hear came from new inventions andvnew inventions Come from the soul of the individual not from a libcommie bureaucrat

 

Very very trivial compared to the huge benefits of a tiny government that is not distorting the free-market in 1000 different ways and hindering efficiency

 

Friedman's NIT fell apart because of it, but its just trivial to you? Crikey, good sense is a problem!

 

The Tiger Economies industrialised on the back of dynamic comparative advantage. The problem here of course is that you don't know any economics

 

Shall we ask the top 10 IBM executives which products within the computer industry the soviet govt ought to support. If they have no clue imagine how bad libcommie monopolist bureaucrats would be. Now you can see how they slowly starved 120 million to death/

 

You continue to type nothing but drivel. Can you return to reality? Present one source that rejects the importance of the infant industry argument. Happy to debate it.

 

our subject is not NIT! We are teaching you about how Republican capitalism between countries and people is good.

 

libcommie bureaucrats would have no idea whatsoever about what industries to pick. 1+1=2

 

You were asked about a tax. You came out with an option that your hero couldn't really support. Why can't you do reality?

 

Tiger Economies proved otherwise. Reality continues to be your problem. You need to herd with more right wingers, reality is getting in the way

 

they were modernizing not innovating. We got from stone age to here with innovation not copying existing industries and then competing with cheap labor. Do you see it now?

 

who cares?? numerous conservative/libertarians have supported a 15% flat tax the primary aim of which is to limit govt size and prevent distortion of free markets.

 

I've already told you that the Tiger Economies were about dynamic comparative advantage, rather than innovation. Have you had a memory blank?

 

So lots of idiots support a tax that Friedman's NIT couldn't? Interesting

 

why interesting? there is lots of agreement and disagreement on right and left. FYI Friedman would have supported a 15% flat tax, and negative income tax. Sorry to rock your world once again.

 

Friedman couldn't. Its like my last post didn't exist.
