I wasn't the one who posted a video on how to tie your shoes -- something one teaches to a preschooler. Seems to me that I elevated the discourse to the elementary school level from your preschool level.
yes, i will concede
elementary school. milt's little video is right on in terms of elementary school, as it is...
a) at one level
obvious as shit with respect to the theme of
economic ties help build social relationships
b) at the same time a perfect example of the
crushing, childlike naivete that undergirds the vast majority of mainstream economic theory - sure we can all be lifelong friends if we trade, 'cause god knows countries with serious economic ties to one another don't go to war. just ask europe. it's bite-sized ideological chunks served up as virtual mini corn dogs so even the 'picky eater 'kids will chomp down, however that tends to limit how sophisticated of an idea one can put across. UMMM, GOES DOWN EASY.
suggest you might not wanna make piddly little poofballs your main meal all the time.
