But it's going to take some effort to make such an interpretation

Well, if the Nation stops existing, do the people stop existing?

As in,you'd willfully have to make it

The people don't stop existing, they just lose a part of their identity.

Not really. The nation is a group of people and their culture. The economy is people attempting to use scarce resources.

People should try to work together, and support friendly competition.

To keep the cost of general goods down at a price that is affordable to those who need them.

They're both people. So asking who should serve who is asking "Should people serve people, or vice versa?"

While offering some luxuries to the middle class.

alright then

It's not that important anyways

This question went backwards.

The question is unanswerable and doesn't make any sense.

Well then don't answer it and wait for another one

It's like oil based economy, should a government prop the economy up on oil, or try to put programs in place to diversify?

None. Let the free market deal with it.

I explained what it meant above, and if you don't like it, that's your opinion

Well, should you just let the domestic industry suffer and die out of it can't cope?

Just calling my statement, "opinion", is not a rebuttal, but whatever.

It's not a rebuttal

I wasn't trying to refute you

I was saying I can

I can't change your mind

which isn't a bad thing

Yes. If an industry is dying under market conditions it means that it doesn't need to exist anymore.

if you think it's a bad question, then it's a bad question, is what it meant @Zayan Watchel

That's not me trying to refute you

Fine.

Or that somebody is undercutting it to purposely harm that industry to come into the Prime provider

Could I get specifics on that?

Which happens, like "short-sellers" in the stocks market.

People that buy stocks just to harm a company.

The invisible hand will always deal with it. I need a specific scenario.

When a company dies it'll be replaced, what's the issue?

Ah, yes. If you just leave something that doesn't work alone it fixes itself.

Though I understand the mentality.

Or dies and gets replaced.

That's what happened with Monsanto.

The government never needs to touch the economy, it'll always sort itself out.

monsanto is being propped up by the government

I would agree.
