bill (73) Senior board member | 2007-10-16 21:46:26 some countries are very protective about their key industries and others don't seem to care at all - for example the US gets vey exited if industries like ports and airlines look like going to offshore ownership - which is a bit ironic really, given the US commitment to the free enterprise system and market forces - when it's US interests moving into other countries it's fine - but when the situation is reversed ? I seem to have got away from Germany - just let market forces rule - all that happens is a false , protected market - wait a minute - that does sound like Germany after all Reply | Quote 0   0
