Again, perhaps I am wrong. You post Marxist policies and are not a Marxist. You pretend to understand basic economics, then demonstrate a country that blocked free trade and became wealthy.
If you’re right, then history should be replete with clear examples of how making everything yourself and punishing domestic consumers enriches a nation.
Some FReepers just cannot admit they were wrong.
How about the USA from 1787 thru early 20th century? Up until the 1950's trade was only about 5% of GDP IN TOTAL. So don't give me any more of you buffoonery.

His childish winners and losers comments proves he’s an ignorant economic idiot. Free economies ALWAYS have a risk reward component, and some times dynamics are win win and sometimes there are winners and losers.
