There is SOME room to doubt Ricardo’s relevancy on the basis that there are SOME things going on that really are new under the sun. The Internet and cheap ubiquitous computing changes everything. He could never have foreseen the ability to transport mountains of stuff around the world for pennies. Ricardo saw a world of relative economic equals trading. Does his analysis work in a world of one giant trading with 1000 Lilliputians?

LB, All citizens of USA should be so thankful that voters are finally waking up to reality of current political situation: Bush hurt in poll by domestic issues Tuesday, 20-Jan-2004 4:40AM Story from United Press International Copyright 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows six of 10 Americans believe Democrats would do a better job on domestic issues, the newspaper reported Tuesday. The results were published as Bush prepares to deliver the State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The survey found Bush continues to enjoy a huge advantage over Democrats on matters of national security, besting them by 2-to-1 in the fight against terrorism and by nearly as broad a margin on his handling of the conflict in Iraq. The domestic issues on which Bush lost ground include the economy, prescription drugs for the elderly, health insurance, Medicare, the budget deficit, immigration and taxes. Bush also lost the advantage on education policy he once enjoyed. Bush is now in a statistical dead heat with the opposition nine months before the election, ahead 45 percent to 44 percent -- down from an 18-point advantage nine months ago.
