Exactly, that's one way how you can get of rid of racism.

Yeah, Penn & Teller are a bit over-the-top but then again, that's their shtick. However, "The biggest reason of war is FREE TRADE" is an argument so absurd I'm not even going to dissect it. Of course money is a factor in wars, but usually this is because some fiscal benefits are one-sided: economic underdevelopment and autarchy contribute to war, Free (and fair) trade is the cure for both afflictions and advances the cause of peace. Even Palestinian Fatah admitted this in its recent conference!

Not really. Many Africans are dirt poor because their governments are run completely backwards. Hell, Congo been in a war since the nineteen sixties.

Financial interdependence solves exactly nothing. There are other ways to fight wars than with guns and bombs.

You can fight war with food, manipulating financial markets and commodity prices, international legislation, United Nations economic sanctions, fourth generation small-scale "covert" warfare and a number of other "creative" ways.

Way more people have died of extreme poverty and starvation than of outright war.

You can't manipulate a financial market in a free trade market - (I really wish I could bold this) because then it wouldn't be free trade.

People have died of extreme poverty and starvation BECAUSE they have such a terrible economic system - they do not know how to trade properly - and starvation and poverty within an autocratic government leads more rapidly to war.

True.

But nobody has used the free market principle in over 70 years. The financial markets in the US are manipulated daily by the Federal Reserve, the government and other big corporate players.

Same thing in the European Union, China and most other countries/areas.

"Free trade isnt necessarily a good thing."

Yes, it is.
