This is true of a demand system, but not true for a command system, especially one based on Marxism.

I wonder why the lefties in this country aren’t bellyaching about the “bloated” or “excessive” executive compensation in China?  Maybe it’s like the environmental extremists don’t seem to care about the “fragile deserts” in the ME.  Maybe it’s more about politics than principles.

In deference to the economics-challenged Lefties who periodically post comments here, perhaps you might want to explain the term “zero sum game.” Folks who cannot fathom supply and demand and the various functions of pricing aren’t very likely to understand this concept either.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with anything said here, just making a book reccomendation:

China Inc.

Reminds me of an old chat-room buddy from #html, who kidded newbies:

“I write HTML by hand.  With a pencil and paper, and then scan it in with OCR”. 

One of the advantages of taking public transportation to work everyday:  I finished 54 books in 2006.

China Inc was one of the top 5 from 2005.  Read it, you’ll be glad you did.

Well I did get a Barnes and Nobles Gift Card for Christmas.

Whislter, buy something pretty for your wife with that, and get yourself a library card.  Best bargain in town—besides, you’ve already paid for it with your taxes.
