How lonely was Robinson without Friday?

anonymous question

As everyone who has read anything on economic theory knows, Robinson was damn lonely without Friday: there was no one to practice the division of labor with, and without the division of labor, economic growth is extremely difficult. Who, one might ask, is Robinson supposed to demonstrate the benefits of trade to—under conditions of both relative and absolute comparative advantage in labor productivity—if there is no peaceful, cooperative savage at hand?

No way, a decade of forced juche on a deserted island would convince even a Korean communist that autarky is a bad idea, let alone a representative of a trading nation.

Here it is, the turtle upon which all the popularization of economic theory stands!

Bitcoin is the one thing without which Robinson is especially lonely on a deserted island, and it’s also the best gift for a girl. 1A7Wu2enQNRETLXDNpQEufcbJybtM1VHZ8
