A farmer would not let his food crops fight it out with the weeds, the predators, and the parasites. The farmer must decide what food crops he wants. He must cultivate and nourish the most profitible crops. The market-place is where; ultimately, a price for the farmer’s efforts is established. No rules, regulations or restrictions on the farmers need be made. The marketplace is the law.
Between nations, government is like the farmer. Between nations there is a Macro marketplace. Currently this “Market Place” is a system of Free Trade agreements which establishes prices on a macroscopic level. This macro marketplace of the “Free Trade Agreements” is at times extremely unfair to those corporations and groups of individuals that are subjected, through no fault of their own, to the most intense competition. Careers are lost by the millions. Wages are mitigated or increased. People’s lives are made, compromised or ruined based on the “Free Trade Agreements”, which constitute the macro marketplace between nations.
The macro marketplace is not in the stores, but between nations that decide what they want to cultivate and nourish. If the governments want to compete in the international marketplace, they cannot place so many restrictions on their workers that they cannot compete. They must adjust the wages and expenses of their workers to match the workers that they are competing with.
See what I mean? There is actually a dual marketplace. There is the macro market between nations and the mini marketplace of the stores. The nations must decide what they want to sell and cultivate those products for sale by making their workers as well nourished as the competition. This macro marketplace has to be more mature. Governments have to decide what they are going to sell and bid for the market. There should be some type of a macro marketplace whereby countries actually compete. Countries should say “I will allow you to have a tariff of X million dollars if you let us sell Y million widgets in your market. The product from each country would have the proper tariff added to the price or the selling country might pay the buying country a lump sum for access to their marketplace.
The macro market is currently a system of “Trade Agreements” which are not equitable in either the macro marketplace between nations or in the micro market place within the stores. This macro marketplace must mature. Governments must better manage their “food crops” or those governments will cease to exist. America must better manage the macro marketplace, or America will cease to exist.
The macro marketplace between nations largely establishes which products a nation will buy and sell. The prices are essentially established NOT by a FREE MARKET, but by trade agreements. Not directly you understand but indirectly. The mini marketplace of the stores has a minor effect on prices.
America must better manage the macro marketplace, or America will cease to exist. In the future, Americans may not own their own country.
