<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blueindian65, post: 688197, member: 17310&quot;]Cloweds: If this is just a bullion thread why did you decided to critizse what I said then say, but we can not have this discoution. Again the Question. If we are goign to discouse bullion investing how can we exclude discoustions of internatial trade policy and the theorys that guide them? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chip and Clowed. It is not a good answer. Great Britan and the American Collinies where not equal trade partners. Under Mercinteal trade systems americans could not trade with anyone except britan. So the lack of liberty and trade freedom was a major cause of the conflic. If anything it is a clasic example of how trade blocks cause conflict not an example of why the theory is wrong. Liberal Peace thoery argues that when barriers to trade are destroyed societys become intertwined and forced to work togeather. That is very differnt than one side having 100% control over another sides economy and forcing tarrifs on their goods.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>World War I: Think about it like this. Today Europe is a cohecive trade unit under one currancey excluding the brits. They can move and trade as they please. Before WWI they where independent Colonial powers with extrem rivalries. The benifit of one was a net loss for the others. Also WWI was one of the most anticipated wars in history. Militirism and Authoritarian power ruled the day. I am not sure how that disproves my theory. Hear is a great link that explains the concept better. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And A quote form My frinds at the herritiage Foundation</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Verdana">Free trade fosters an enormous chain of economic activity, the benefits of which culminate in a social desire to be at peace with neighboring and even faraway nations with which trade is conducted or might be conducted in the future. When individuals see how beneficial it is to live in an economically free society; when they see how freedom allows them to improve their lives and those of their families; when they can create new businesses, engage in commerce, or work for a decent salary or wage, adding dignity to their lives, they want peace to preserve all these good things.</font></p><p><font face="Verdana">By contrast, when people live under economic oppression and are at the mercy of a small ruling authority that dictates every aspect of their lives and limits their ability to realize their potential, they resent the life they have and learn to hate better lives elsewhere. If they cannot enjoy the fruits of their efforts and cannot realize their potential; if they cannot feel free to do business, work freely, and trade freely; if they do not have anything to gain or to lose, they begin to feel that any change--even war--might be better. They have no incentive to desire peace with their neighbors.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/tradeandeconomicfreedom/bg1761.cfm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.heritage.org/research/tradeandeconomicfreedom/bg1761.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heritage.org/research/tradeandeconomicfreedom/bg1761.cfm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also I got 8 oz of silver bars in today that i payed 100 dollars for.
