    I think you misunderstood my point, which was that even though the same word (economics) is used, a tiny island economy operates on a different enough paradigm than the massive global economy that comparing them in order to explain them is false.

    Until you scale population, industry, and most everything else correctly, you can't really compare the two. One example: a small economy is systemically incapable of supporting an auto industry. You simply cannot mix and match facets of that economy with one that is actually capable of supporting an auto industry. They're just two entirely different things

    One man can run an auto manufacturing industry. That's how cars were invented and developed. To manufacture them millions at a time takes cooperation, and that cooperation should be voluntary for best results.

    Continuing to claim that a five man island does not translate to a million man island is beginning to sound like complete hooey. At what point does it magically transform into a different economic paradigm? Fifty people? One thousand? 12,045? Where?
