yeah but the world does not support free trade of labor, at least no industrialized countries do that I know of, and I'm not even sure about any developing nations. The free market as it is defined, exists for goods and services only. Sure maybe you could make a case that a "true free market" should exist for labor, and that companies like Liz Claiborne and Vicorias Secret should be able to import workers from Sri Lanka, and pay them $.50/day to work in Tennessee closest to their factories. A true free market would have no tax structure really either. This type of model will probably exist forever on nothing more than a Berkeley professor's chalkboard.
