thanks lil and G'kar. informative and 'chewy'.
moridin. it's for a political debate i'm having at the moment with my boyfriend. we kinda come from differing viewpoints on this issue. he thinks that capitalism per se is a workable system not really attatched to the concept of free trade and i think that are inextricably bound together in this day and age, anyway.
therefore, to have a deeper understanding of the machinations and working principles would be useful as argued from the point of view as a person living within a capitalist/free trade country but also the implications for a person living in perhaps a third world country/economy.
would be most appreciative of pointers on the above standpoints.
g'kar's comment that 'someone's gotta pay' would also be useful if explained in nuts and bolts terms within a capitalist environ.
thanking you in anticipation
