Comparative advantage is not a metaphor.

Duck all you like, but a description is not a metaphor.

I could argue with much more justification that economic description is anti ideological.

The text of this post suggests that rather than disagree with me, you are, rather vigorously, agreeing, Frank. The central and, I think, rather simple point I'm trying to make is that the metaphor of the chicken farmer cannot carry the burden of telling us much, if anything, about as complex a thing as a modern nation state economy, let alone a global beast such as the one we live in.

Nothing more; nothing less, as the saying goes.
