Crime Against Humanity: Pensée Unique in Economics, 17

There were, and there are, rich countries and poor countries, and there are now large−scale multinational corporations bigger than governments, and “free trade” favours the rich and the big at the expense of the poor, while protectionism protects the poor. “Dirigiste” mercantilism and mercantilists were protectionists, classical and neoclassical economics and economists were, and are, instrumental to justify that “free trade” which in the parlance of the various times went by the names of ‘colonialism’, ‘neocolonialism’, and ‘globalisation’. Adam Smith and the other classical economists first; and later on the neoclassical economists, worked for stronger economies such as Britain, and among the classical economists it has been said that “Josiah Tucker had the candor to concede that what was good policy for Britain was not good for poor countries. It would be judicious for them to take protectionist measures to raise productivity in their manufacturing activities.”
It is not to be believed that a successful attack is harmless to the victim, and an economic attack is hardly different from whatever form of attack; as they say, the winner takes it all, and it is all taken away from the victim: the victim gets bought up, all its resources, a term to meditate upon, suffocated or usurpated, and its people become the property of the attacker and at its mercy.

What is maximum capacity utilisation?
It is the assumption that all available resources are always fully employed. Well, just go and observe for yourself. Actually, it may be a bit difficult out there to isolate what a resource is, and even more so to determine what is its available amount and how much of it is being utilised. In the case of land, for instance, one has to consider the needs of flora and fauna, of oxygenation, of flood areas, mountains, and built−up areas to assess how much arable land is needed and not utilised.
However, such problems are outscored by something that underlines them; the core here is the most fundamental resource: people and their willingness. And indeed you can go and observe for yourself that, too, not to mention that on this core of the subject you probably have your own personal experiences.
