It's not a free market if includes closed and controlled markets. Thus, it's not possible to have a global market and a free market. A free market must be necessarily domestic and isolationist, or operating tariffs to protect itself from the global market. This is something a lot of libertarian economists do not want to come to terms with.

Also, the average person in a first world country will not have a robot maid until borders are mostly closed for that nation.

Kind of like how machined farming only really took off after slavery was ended. It's the same story for cheap foreign labor and automation.

There is a market for "American Made". A lot of people realize the difference between that and "Made in China" of which we are given the choice with the warning label... Made in China.

How do you feel the difference between America made or assembled?

"Because it's cheaper!"

It's not though. Money is leaving your economy. It's pure loss.

Lots of American stuff is also exported to China and other Asian countries.

Yeah, technology, inventions and ideas. Oh and food, our food too. Things of value leave America, things of no value enter.

All your electronic devices, home appliances, clothes... are mainly from China, Taiwan and other Asian countries.

What this is, is price arbitrage. It's used for wages and price advantages. We simply don't have price discovery. That is, the ability to know actual prices of anything. Without price discovery, we don't have a free market.

Price discovery is a tenant of free market?

Also stupidly we feel by making smog in China that it just stays in China. But of course that's not true. Yes I think the whole global warming shit is bullshit but I do think there is a an issue of acutely bad air in certain areas. God forbid we have a middle class and a few factories...

Free market means that a store can stock whatever it wants, and you can buy whatever you like.

A free market allows a store to choose if it wants to stock either beef raised on the Canadian prairie or poisoned goyslop produced in Israel. A free market also allows you to choose which one you want to purchase.

A closed market would mean that the government decides what a store can sell, and what you can buy. You may think that it'd be a good thing if your government restricts what can be sold in your country and what people are allowed to buy. You would think that until you realise who runs your government.

Its not free market as much as frees Americans from their guilt.

I'll forward the next flame war I get involved in regarding power tools of all things. Retards will rage over how much better Chinese Milwaukee tools are vs the American Dewalt version. Over a fucking drill.

Chinese engineers design, spec materials and methods, and construct Milwaukee tools?

There is no such thing as the free market, it’s a concept that is pushed to make people believe they live in a free market because they have the illusion of choice. A free market would entail individual people having a right to retain the productivity of their labor which is neither true in the USA nor in China. Government wouldn’t exist in a free market, not even .0001% of the economy could be government/socialized economy for a free market to exist.

Ironically, some of the first things industrialists did to squash the free market was to regulate labor unions.
