You don’t need to bring back mercantilism (which is still mostly fallacious) to fix U.S. unemployment.

In fact marriages should be preferably arranged by fathers at an even earlier age somewhere in the early to mid teens.
A girl is ready to become a bride as soon as she has her first period.

women brains run teenage software for pretty much their whole lives so why not get the best hardware?

What it means is that if USG entirely eliminated foreign trade, closing its ports like Tokugawa Japan, US businesses would experience an immediate 3% jump in gross revenue, and hence in employment. Of course, this would involve a boom in import substitution industries and a bust in export industries, but the net effect would be a boom. 500B ain’t nothing. The hedonic effect, of course, would be negative – but as we’ve seen, inadequate hedonism is anything but our problem.

We could do even better than this. We could eliminate imports, while maintaining exports. Of course, we would be admitting the mercantilist reality of world trade, something our Asian trading “partners” already understand. Does it hurt that much to say: “Friedrich List was right?” Let’s say that retaliation would cut our exports not to zero, but just in half. In that case, we have $0 in imports and $650B in exports, meaning a net gain in revenue to US businesses of roughly 1.2T – and that’s not counting a multiplier effect of money spent over and over again.

Again, we’d see some hedonic pain. We’d also see something like a 10% boost in [Actual GDP] overnight, as all the crap we buy from China now had to be made in America. Which means a titanic economic boom perhaps unparalleled in history, except at the inception of the Third Reich when Hitler adopted more or less the same autarkic policies. Less fun – more prosperity.

Call me crazy, but I don’t believe mercantilism – which, before Adam Smith, was no more than conventional wisdom in political economy – is inseparable from yet another persecution of the Jews. Indeed, any pre-liberal mercantilist would regard the combination of free trade, massive trade deficits, and massive unemployment, as economic insanity on a par with persecuting the Jews.

As List puts it, free trade is the weapon of the strong. England and later America adopted free trade when we were strong. Well, face it, we’re not strong anymore. But we keep hitting ourselves over the head with the weapon. Why? It’s simple: blithering idiocy.

There is among the broad spectrum of the movement an unhealthy open straining for teenage girls so as to be certain virgin brides, and we should not encourage this, if put into action even so far as conversation unless you’re 19 years old or younger you need to be put down.

Put.Down.

It was called the NSDAP.

Had it not attacked all 3 world’s leading Industrial powers at once, in particularly Russia it would still be around.
