Why is that a contradiction? Can it not both be capitalist and slow the growth of other capitalist industry? Were the goods produced not sold on the same international market and production funded by the same financial markets as any other capitalist industry at the time? How they could not be capitalist is beyond me. Tristan -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
