Re: Re: Keeping focus after the WTO


I think the historical record shows that free trade itself will not lead to
convergence. We need other things in addition. My favourite other thing is
education. International compulsory education paid for with an international
tax. And pay the kids to go to school is necessary. It solves the problem of
child poverty. It raises labour productivity and speeds technological
transfer. And compared to the money wasted on military expenditure it would
cost very little.



Yep...
