Hmmm. I would say that the same thing that made communism (as far as
what was done in the former east block was realy communism as it was
meant it to be) fail (that is: human greed) is the thing that works
against real free trade. There is just too much to be gained by
cheating, so those who can get waway with it will. IMHO the 'west'
(Europe, USA, Japan/Korea/Taiwan, etc) are the big cheaters. Check for
instance the EC (to which I belong) agricultural policy.
