Chapter 12

In the beginning of this chapter, they described this machine that was capable of making the lives of everyone it touched substantially better, it almost seemed like magic.  As you read about all of the things it was capable of doing and all of the places it was able to reach, the idea sounded impossible, but then he went on the unveil this machine, and in fact, this "machine" was actually trade, and we already have it! I was more shocked then I should have been but then I began to wonder, if this concept of trade is so astonishing and it makes the lives of individuals so remarkably better, and it sets countries far further ahead then they were, then why doesn't every country take part in it? We trade in order to benefit ourselves. It's a handy tactic that just happens to benefit the person on the recieving end as well. There are so many poor countries that have so many recources that every other country wants.  But then why do they not?
