Legalizing marijuana is not a new position for Beto. He wrote a book on it...

Except that first it involved an incredibly daring bit of espionage to steal the plant and the secrets of fermenting black tea from the Chinese, who were controlling it. It'd require a spy sortie at least.
The story itself is wild:

Confessions of an Economic Hitman goes into great detail about the Bechtel Corporation. Very well written story about a guy who was unwarily caught up in instituting U.S. interests abroad.
Decriminalizing and legalizing marijuana has been part of Beto's platform since before he was in congress.
Somebody in another thread pointed out that he wrote a book on it in 2011

For me, trade, economics and the organisation of production is the heart of civilisation. Wars and revolutions don't start because of the whims of some "Great Men" but rather the deeper economic and social issues that mean those "Great Men" have the support they need to go to war etc.
I guess it's a materialist view of history but I genuinely think it's the most important thing even as far back as the Phoenicians etc.
I strongly recommend the book A Splendid Exchange as an introduction to the history of trade, it's written in a very entertaining way as well (but with references for further reading, checking claims etc.).
tl,dr: It's because it actually attempts to seriously simulate the economics and trade and politics etc. that is really what causes wars and so on.
Beto wrote a book about decriminalizing marijuana....

> Legalize the drugs and defend the cartels.
I'm guessing you meant de-fund the cartels. Well, good news! Beto is for that as well. In fact, he wrote a book on just that topic! https://www.amazon.com/Dealing-Death-Drugs-Business-Checkpoint/dp/1933693940
From the description:
"The War on Drugs doesn’t work. This statement becomes obvious if you live on the U.S./Mexico Border. Especially if your home is in El Paso, Texas, and you have witnessed Ciudad Juárez—El Paso’s sister city—become one of the deadliest cities in the world.
This is why El Paso City Representative Susie Byrd and former City Rep Beto O’Rourke started to ask questions about the United States’ 40-year old War on Drugs. Byrd and O’Rourke soon realized American drug use and the United States’ failed War on Drugs are at the core of the problem. In Dealing Death and Drugs, they explore the costs and consequences of marijuana prohibition. They argue that marijuana prohibition has created a black market so profitable that drug kingpins are billionaires and drug control doesn’t stand a chance. Using Juárez as their focus, they describe the business model of drug trafficking and explain how it has contributed to the tragedy taking place in Juárez today.
Their position: the only rational alternative to the War on Drugs is to end the current prohibition on marijuana."
Why change subjects? Can you point to concrete examples of so called Chinese "debt traps"? I can point to an entire book full of real examples of Western economic imperialism http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081/
China's so-called Chinese human rights abuses are orders of magnitude less than America, but I don't hear you crying about America's human rights abuses that include an invasion of Iraq that killed about a million people, destroyed Libya, destroyed Syria, extreme police brutality/police state, global drone assassination programs, etc. Go ahead, prove me wrong.

You should read https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
You're just killing your own industry with your ideas. Having your industry strink isn't worth cheaper goods.
There is a reason so many countries engage in protectionist behavior. It isn't because they want to donate to other countries.
YES! Please read https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
Taxes, tariffs, regulations, difficulty to enter market, etc. all result in the same thing. A trade imbalance. This trade imbalance can't continue to exist without governments actively ensuring the trade imbalance exists.
A trade imbalance translates into one country investing into another country's economy. It is why countries love running trade surpluses.
I strongly disagree. I highly recommend the book https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
A trade imbalance translates into the net importing country investing their capital into the exporting country's economy. There is a reason why Germany, Japan, South Korea, and China all engage in this practice. It isn't because they enjoy hurting their citizens.
I highly recommend the book https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
You are right that it doesn't need to be reciprocal if they are a small developing country that isn't even a blip on the larger country's economy, but it isn't sustainable to have a trade imbalance forever. The debts eventually need to get settled or the importing economy just needs to be forever investing in the exporting economy with no money.
I highly recommend the book https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
There is a reason, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and China all engaged in protectionism that "hurt their tax payers." A trade imbalance translates into another country investing into your economy. It is great for explosive growth.
Most of us here expect oil production to peak soon/already, but people still keep posting articles about the details of how/when that's happening.
Same thing with demand destruction, it's interesting to talk about how it may collapse. Zeihan details how different regions of the world will collapse at different rates and why.
I'm not saying people here didn't see this coming or this is all original, it's just interesting to me to see different takes on how it all falls down.
Zeihan wrote a book called, The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization.
> The "good" solution would be for the US to have good trade policy and ignore it as if Canadian provinces want to subsidize our consumption of softwood we should let them.
I highly recommend the book The great rebalancing. Trade imbalances matter. Letting other countries subsidize their industries with no counter plays just translates into your country investing it their country's economy in exchange for the short term cheaper goods.
Wife and I are child free by choice but the teacher isnt wrong about the demographics shift
Read this if you have a chance
>Why does it have to be balanced?
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681
TL;DR trade imbalances ultimately translate into one country investing into the economy of another country. This is fine if the net importing country is getting something else in return, but if it isn't, then this mutually beneficial relationship ends up favoring one side significantly more.
>U.S. has been running deficits for decades and somehow we’re perfectly fine.
Yeah. We are fine since our economy is massive and rich. Our economy would be a lot bigger if the trade balance was more neutral.
To be clear, America benefited more from free trade and other countries being able to exploit it more so than if America didn't do free trade at all. However if both sides are benefiting massively, why should one country get to benefit even more at the cost of the other benefitting slightly less.
>And considering the strengthening of the dollar, I’d imagine it’s easier than ever to export to the U.S.
Tariffs and import control can be changed at the stroke of a pen. America started aggressively moving away from a global free trade world under trump and Biden keeps pushing it further. It doesn't matter how weak your currency is if the country is making sure it can't compete with their local industry.
Because a trade imbalance (you importing) is the same as you investing in another country's economy. Countries like Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and well most SE asian countries really manipulate the trade imbalance to grow their economy at the cost of the importer's economy.
All the importers get at the end of the day is cheap goods. Which is awesome! However, it majorly sucks for the local industries that go out of business since they can't compete against a country devaluing their currency. Then we end up with a situation in the article where "there aren't any American companies that can do electric heating at the scale we need."
So what's the solution? End global trade? Hell no! Global free trade is so efficient and produces so much good for everyone. What should be done is to enter in with countries into free trade agreements that have measures that ensure the trade is relatively balanced. Then it is okay if nation A's auto industry gets hurt by nation B's more efficient auto industry because there will be some other industry that nation A's economy will grow on at the cost of nation B's economy.
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Rebalancing-Conflict-Perilous-Economy/dp/0691158681 It's a really good book.
Great book on the subject. That lays out the situation in China in the coming decades. It’s going to be a hard and fast fall.
US Sends weapons to Saudi Arabia to orchestrate mass killing and the biggest humanitarian disaster in recent history. They also overthrew Iran's democracy. Read this if you ever get the time to understand how shit like this works. https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081
Bezweifel ich um ehrlich zu sein. Der zivilisatorische Höhepunkt wurde zumindest in Europa und Asien erreicht. Der Trend geht zur Deglobalisierung und Überalterung, sodass die Wirtschaft ineffizienter wird und heutige Zukunftsvisionen eher Utopien gleichen

If you're interested in this topic. This book discusses it at link. The global population catastrophe has already doomed certain countries to obsolescence and massive famine and economic collapse in the coming decades.
The current collapse of Sri Lanka coming in the pending one of Pakistan and many more to come are just the beginning, as they run out of young workers and consumers (like South Korea now and in a few more years China,) can no longer import the energy they need (China again, among others), are utterly dependent on the global trade network (that the US Navy has protected since WWII) that could collapse at any time, or live in places that have vastly outgrown their geographic areas ability to support the population that is now there (take your pick in the Middle East).
Massive starvation and immigration crises we're going to mark the next couple of decades at least. It's not going to be bad everywhere, as there are the lottery winners of the world that have the ability to produce and grow in manufacture everything they need... for the rest, well just watch the news as it plays out.
I highly recommend the book “Narconomics” to understand how drug cartels operate, why they do where they do and how they can be stopped. They are and act very similarly to familiar corporations when you analyse their behaviour in an economics sense

I believe it was a chapter in "The End of the World is Just Beginning - Mapping the Collapse of Globalization" by Peter Zeihan, I listen to a lot of audiobooks in the car, so I might be wrong on which book.

She will go because we need to reassure them and we will need their help. China will rattle as they always do.
Also an interesting read: https://www.amazon.com/End-World-Just-Beginning-Globalization/dp/006323047X?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=143f7d37-f188-4150-be82-e9a1d850322d
I would recommend the book The great rebalancing.
It explains way better than I can the importance of having a balanced trade deficit among countries. The problem isn't "manipulating currency." We expect countries to do that. The problem is countries manipulating their currency to accelerate economic growth in their country at the cost of other countries. The receiving end countries have to rebalance this either by tariffs or exchanging their currency for other exporting country's currency.
