Look at how easily you can destroy global production chains by just taking china out of the equation
It doesn't matter if you can buy cars now from some foreign company at a cheaper rate if your countries' potential productive capacity isn't made use of
HOW DOES HAVING MORE GOODS AND SERVICES AT A LOWER PRICE MAKE YOU LESS PRODUCTIVE?
Because it prevents the development of industries in your own country
You're not producing more just consuming more at a cheaper rate
Which makes barriers to entry for developing industry in your own country higher
If I live in country X and we lose all of our jobs in the iron industry from foreign competition, all the goods in our country that are made with steel will see lower costs
thats an increase in productive capacity
Net productive capacity increases
I don't disagree that importing iron is good
Because it makes manufacturing more competitive
It doesn't make economic sense to be autarchic in that
You're starting to make sense
However usually this looks more like this
Your country is stuck with an economy primarily about the primary sector
You trade away what little capital you earn thorough it for cheaper foreign manufactured products. Industry deosn't develop unless foreign capital decides to invest or your country decides to institute some tariffs and kickstart industry
Why do you want industry?
That industry keeps more capital in your own country which allows for the development of others etc.
Wealthy nations are industrial. Nations stuck with a primary sector economy but a dense poulation are pretty miserable
Most primary sector economies are stuck with subsistence farming and whatnot
"That industry keeps more capital in your own country which allows for the development of others etc."
What
Instead of your capital moving overseas it can be directed into growing your domestic industry basically
Wait
what
but by moving the capital abroad
you get more goods?
In that moment yeah
But not in the long run
Yeah I'm outta this server
This is why the right wing sucks right now
Because this one dude disagrees with you?
<:thrinking:638952313167544360>
Imagine being against industry
Return to tradition and ban secondary/tertiary
Why yes I want cheap shit now and trust capitalists in China to reinvest the money I spent on their shit into my own society
That'll make my society richer in the long term
This is why I can't take lolberts seriously
>This is why the right wing sucks right now
Because it's not Jewish enough?
kike
What a passive aggressive bitch, was that guy.
@Mr. Nessel I think the right wing position, in a true sense in economics, is to deconstruct the public/private distinction
