  1. My econ professor at Michigan State, Dr. Alvin Mandelstamm, self-styled "Mandelschlecht" or "Handsome Al", put the Mercantilist viewpoint this way in his lecture: " We're going to have GOLD! And we're going to have GOLD!! And we're going to have GOLD!!! Yee hee hee hee! Yee hee hee hee! Yee hee hee hee!" gleefully and greedily rubbing his hands together. Then: "You idiots! Here we shipped out all these valuable goods and now we're stuck with this worthless pile of metal!" Sounds exactly like your argument.
