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.
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
