thanks dude. this poststems from an interesting discussion I had with someone who was talking about islamic system and one who was talkign socialist system, and how it would not be a consumer based economy and no taxation etc, and second talking about how govt should provide etc etc. I had to walk im through some basic realities of where does the money come from for the govt to spend..and we ended at consumption. They did talk trade..but then trade just means consumption elsewhere.
