FYI free trade research. Some quotes:

***********

"The CEO of General Motors arrived shanghai to attend the yearly forum held by Fortune last year, and he was late for one day. When he step out of plane, he hold warmly the hands of the president of trade union in GE's shanghai branch, and sent thanks to workers in shanghai for their support to defeat the workers in Detroit"

"Why free trade becomes free war? The secret lies in the motivation of division and trade. Under hypothesis of Economic man, every one wants to maximize his own benefit, which makes the human society a jungle. of course, there are people who don't maximize his benefit in any situation, there are also people who maximize social benefit all his life, and there are regulations that constrain those egoist ones. But all the regulations are in some extent misused by those egoist men, and then are attacked as outdated dogmas. The egoism is self-excited and expanding all over the world. The tendency is so strong that some day it will eliminate the trace of civilization thoroughly and make the whole society a large jungle. "

"Technology, capital, advertisement, trade mark and patent etc, are all weapons of war. Winner takes all is the same as victor monopolies authority. Economics crisis is the same as economics war is consuming both sides most fiercely."
