The world economy works because we agree to trade this for that. Not because we out smart the partner. We simply must trade with some EU countries just because our climate does not allow for the same produce back home, for example.
Why? Productively is nothing to do with worker volume, if that's what you're getting at.
Noncompetitive industries that are protected by trade barriers like those found in the custom union don't have to be competitive to survive. Outside of the custom union they do have to be competitive.
The rest of your post is nonsense.Last edited by woohoo; 3 September 2017, 14:40.Comment

The idea if business is to thrive it needs to be dynamic more productive. If it can't survive in the outside world then it dies off.
I agree this is pretty tulip if you find you are out of a job but the idea is that industry and services that we excel at will thrive and those inefficient industries get better more productive. As a contractor I'm used to finding my own work and depending on myself but I agree others will struggle.
But this happens all over the place, years ago I took redundancy because the industry I was in was overtaken by offerings on the internet. The industry adapted and I moved on to bigger better things.Comment
