The article comes to different conclusions. In fact cheap imports from China ravaged manufacturing in certain "poor countries". Can you reconcile your general thesis with that?

I don't see how this comment relates to the article, which claims that the observed quick growth in "poor countries" was all just China modernizing. And Chinese growth is indeed correlated with better material conditions for

A couple thoughts: 1. in your original statement, you just name-dropped philosophers' names assuming that I'd understand what aspect of their work you were thinking of. Similarly, you can't say "use Galois theory" w

Note that the word "coordinate" used here feels a bit disingenuous to me, because that's how one might refer to the nth property defining a mathematical object or another. For example: The third coordinate of the rational num
