you are a poser talking to someone that knows more than you do.

comparative advantage does not include slave labor in the analysis. If Bangladesh has a comparative advantage, it is because they can somehow produce more shoes per hour - not that they can pay less to do it

A biggie, Bahrain, and outside of Trumpkinville, promising and delivering are two different things, hell, if promises were real, Trump would have 90 deals by now, the Ukraine war would be over, and Gaza long settled

Exactly, which is why it is to their advantage to manufacture sneakers, and why it isn’t always detrimental in trading for a nation to have a monopoly on a product or service

And slave labor is your import plus totally irrelevant

You best take a seat.

not exactly. Most of the trade disparity is based on exploitative wage structures, not comparative advantage.

you can't prove that it is.

bottom line is surplus is up when you said it would crash the economy

now you are left spinning like a top because you can't admit you were wrong

It's OK, I humbly accept your concession
