I’m sorry he put the words “free market” into your mouth when there was none of that in your post. FWIW, Japan would be worse off if cheap rice flooded the market and eradicated domestic rice production.
Free market just means little fish can’t compete. And eventually one company will own everything. Then they’ll come back with, trade deals and regulations. But then they don’t realize that’s compromise for a system not ment for them ! I don’t have all the answers on what a new non capitalist system would look like, but it doesn’t automatically mean socialism/communism.
