Brexit fallacies

-

If nothing else, Brexit has shown the fallacies in classic capitalism.When Adam Smith wrote the Wealth of Nations, Britain had a monopoly in coffee and sugar, and could pick and choose (at her whim) who to trade with in Europe.

Today’s global trading entities aren’t seeking competitio­n, they are after the same sort of onesided monopoly Britain enjoyed in the 18th and 19th centuries.
