Don't try to change the subject. Nothing that involves
human action is Darwinian.

Some stuff about people trying various globalizations will
work, some will not. Some will be breathtakingly
stupid, some sheer genius - just like all human
activity.

I suppose you're impervious to expositions about comparative advantage,
then? It's a fact. It gets used on the wrong things, but it's
still a fact.

I can't think of any activity more moral than getting out
of the way of two people who want to trade. The stuff that
people call "globalization" that isn't about that is ... a
lot of stuff, but that's the essence of it.
