@williambrennan104 "A "nation" is an arbitrary group of individuals"
Wrong
nation (n.)
c. 1300, nacioun, "a race of people, large group of people with common ancestry and language," from Old French nacion "birth, rank; descendants, relatives; country, homeland" (12c.) and directly from Latin nationem (nominative natio) "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe," literally "that which has been born," from natus, past participle of nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci), from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups.
The word is used in English in a broad sense, "a race of people an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family and speaking the same language," and also in the narrower sense, "a political society composed of a government and subjects or citizens and constituting a political unit; an organized community inhabiting a defined territory within which its sovereignty is exercised."
". Hence, there is no such thing as a nation in an economic sense, any more than there is such a thing as a brick in terms of physics. Physics applies certain rules to subatomic particles, and doesn't care how those particles are arranged. The same is true of economics with individuals and "societies" respectively."
wtf does this have to do with a nation?
