I'm arguing for capitalism, and against economic protectionism. Where do you get the idea that I favor redistributing wealth?
- blfr 11y agoRight. The issue is analogous to the shared foyer of a building (where you also often cannot transact with random non-residents). You argue that people who currently have a right to their country (citizens) should abolish its borders and allow anyone to move in. Which would be like residents of a building allowing anyone into the shared space. The value of access to that shared space is what would be redistributed from residents to non-residents (leaving its depreciation in the process aside). The step from this intangible to more concrete wealth is minor, especially since, as you've pointed out, it has significant dollar value.
