@Salvysahagun

Thanks for clarifying that you don't understand comparative advantage.

[Salvysahagun]

The reason for the gilded age boom was because of Protectionist policies. NO evil effects.

@gunsandbullhorns

its fundamentally wrong

[Salvysahagun]

This is SOOO wrong.

During the Gilded Age we had VERY high with protectionism.

Has this guy even read Alexander Hamitons "Report on a National Bank" the 1st National bank was NOTHING like the Bank of England. Read the 23 points of the national bank. Very different. As a matter a fact most

The National Banking Act was modeled to get private banks to do the same thing as the as Hamilton's National bank.

Just listen to William Mckinleys speech on Protectionism.

@landgabriel We've never had pure capitalism, otherwise why would troops be used to stop a riot? The main problem is corps. & govt collusion. I would love to see Laissez Faire, but I wont hold my breath.

[landgabriel]

anyone who has good informaiton on the Gilded Age please message it to me. I have leftist friends and family who use it as an example of how laissez faire doesn't work. I know that the government sent in troops to quelch worker riots, etc. I want to know more to debate that the Gilded Age was actually true Laissez Faire.
