Holding Economics Up To Nature

Free traders cherry pick reality, fair traders do not

The free traders say that a free trade economy reflects the natural reality of the law of cause and effect, seen in the law of supply and demand, and seen in the constant growth condition of life. This much may be true, but then the free traders go on to cherry pick reality overlooking or unaware of the natural reality of group selection and genetically activated altruism and kin selection, while affirming strict selfish individualism (see the Randians).

Holding economics up to nature one affirms economic nationalism. I can agree with the libertarians that government needs to be greatly restricted, but based on nature and human nature I do not think that business should be free to trade away the manufacturing base and jobs of a nation, as it has done. Government needs to control this, as it did during the rise of all nations, with fair trade rather than free trade.
