Goa was part of Portugal for 400 years, yet once India was unified they invaded and conquered it. Don’t underestimate the motivational power of nationalism. Humans in the 21st century aren’t really any different from those in the 20th centu

I doubt a traditional retailer would be happy if a manufacturer shipped a box to them with a label “Cheaper at Walmart/Amazon.com” either. Information asymmetry exists in most markets and I don’t think that creates a justification for
