Comments on: Competitive vs comparative advantage http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/11/16/competitive-vs-comparative-advantage/ The Visible Hand in Economics Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:47:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Miguel Sanchez http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/11/16/competitive-vs-comparative-advantage/#comment-35660 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:47:34 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=6522#comment-35660 True to form, it seems, from the group that produced the most bizarre campaign launch in recent memory: those ads with the blurry photos of dour-looking businessmen, plastered with words along the lines of: “Climate change may not be real, but there’s money to be made from it.”  I couldn’t help but imagine a blurry photo of Bernie Madoff with the words: “It may be a Ponzi scheme, but there’s money to be made from it.”

Huh? I’m pretty sure that playing rugby doesn’t contribute much to GDP, Matt. We need to keep the real goal in mind: higher profits for NZ Inc’s shareholders.

Melt down rugby goalposts to build rugby goalposts.

Get the production up, without reducing what we can consume!!!!!!!

Melt down rugby goalposts to boost industrial metals manufacturing, IMO.

You can thank me once New Zealand has finished its first couple of 5 year plans.  Catch those Aussies no sweat IMO.
