David Ricardo (Dan O'Hara) Post #2

The thought of moving our companies over to other countries is bad. It would be much smarter to keep factories in our own country because it will keep jobs available. The main reason we should trade with other countries is to obtain goods that we cannot get from our own countries natural recourses. If we were to exploit other countries people by having them work insanely cheep hours with no working condition laws it would be unacceptable. If we did this it would make changes to our economy. Even though there would be cheeper product there would be less jobs and less people to buy the products. Due to my observations it would be most efficient to make products that we have an abundance or steady flow of natural resources of. When products are made our country it is more of a benefit.
