Japan's industry today is based off of the Korean War

Fact is Chile adopted the free market approach

Japan became more wealthy than their neighbours because they dropped the isolationism and adopted the free market

simple as that

umm, no

Japan did not adopt a free market

Show me a country that improved greatly without millions suffering that didn't use the free market

Yes they did

they had intense protectionism

like the U.K. like the U.S., like Germany

And after that in 1860 they adopted the free market, duh

no, in 1860

and after

they protected Japanese industry so it could compete with other countries

which is exactly what Germany did to develop

No that came even later still, and that's why they suffered in the 80s

before that they had the free market

and it's what the U.S. did as well

they had tariffs, they had government support of industries

Which is a bad idea

See India

which is a good idea

Terrible idea if you know anything about economics

also why the fuck are you even here?

you're an idiot libertarian

hardly left-wing

I never claimed to be left wing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_economic_program

Ran out of arguments or what?

this is literally how economies developed

you're just spouting propaganda without knowing any actual history

I can throw some links at you too, but I like to use my own words

Fact is economies develop faster and better without those government subsidized companies and import taxes and such

yeah, you know which countries have enforced free markets and had for ages?

African countries

sooo developed

Africa had their own issues

the U.S. supports American agriculture

How come free market works in south america, north america, europe and asia then?

the E.U. supports French agriculture

it doesn't

because it isn't practiced

Not completely but the freer it is the better it works

international capitalism is supported by fucking China

Look at the map for economically free countries, always the richest

and could not survive without it

Socialism cannot survive without an underground capitalistic system

fact

Talk a big game but absolutely clueless

Next time you argue don't start with throwing insults

Hello

woah woah woah

"How come free market works in south america, north america, europe and asia then?"

because niggers.

I can't speak for europe

Or really asia

but I assure you the Americas haven't reacted well to the international market

outside of the states

Certain US companies might've done very well due to government backing

and historically because the US government has taken measures to allow some level of self-determination for well-off citizens

I have too ask two things what do you mean by free-market?

where has it helped?

Niggers aren't real. Nice try.

The approach Chile has made to open up the market, which came even before Thatcher and Reagan

There is no reason why Chile is a success now and Brazil isn't

Except for the fact that Brazil fell in the trap of socialism

as we can see now, mass amounts of corruption from these 'well meaning' socialists.

I'm somewhat ignorant of Brazilian politics. To be honest.

Chile's economy has been entirely propped up by governments though. Mostly it's own and America.

Their strongest industry is metal exports I think.

Not at all, the government was tyrannical on all points except economical

I didn't say tyrannical

There was a specific effort in the late 70's to make it a free market, not completely of course

they still had their state corporations but compared to the rest of south america it was

Well whatever they've two major industries that are talked about constantly.

Transportation and copper.

Their copper is managed by the government, and has been though the regime changes.

Yes, but so does Venezuela and Brazil, immensely rich countries in theory, poor in reality

Their trucking and whatnot has always been mostly private.

Utter failure, but logistically despite this the Chilean government has been able to manage to keep people fed under both Allende and Pinochet.

Even now

I never claimed they were a pure free market, but they did slash out a lot of the nonsense in that time

and it shows

What point are you trying to make?

All I'm saying is that the government intervened heavily to make sure the economy worked in a favorable way.

That the free market is better at meeting peoples needs than government

how so?

Not heavily at all compared to other countries

Government propping up businesses that can't stand on their own for example

an absolute money pit

A government owned company that makes money is no problem but most are not and suffer for it

Having a business being government owned doesn't mean much if it still is organized like a capitalist company.

I mean for a centralized industry it works great

A government business will never be organized like a capitalistic company, simply by the fact that it cannot fail.

Like for mining or transportation.

Worst(best) case scenario it gets sold

What kikeshit are you talking about boy?

Good reply

Everything is "government owned" in America
