Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle That Made England (original 2005; edition 2007)
by Juliet Barker
Work details
Agincourt: The King, the Campaign, the Battle by Juliet Barker (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Detailed and well written account of the whole campaign around this most famous battle and its aftermath. The battle itself is only one 25 page chapter out of a nearly 400 page book, but the narrative sequence of the part of the book of which it forms part is exciting and examines all the key issues about battle tactics, the broader political and military background, numbers of participants killed or captured, etc. without digressing seriously from that narrative flow. The personalities on both sides and their motivations are also examined in some depth, allowing the reader to understand fully that these people operated 600 years ago with a very different set of assumptions about morality and justice than we have and that we cannot simply transfer our understanding of these issues onto them to judge their conduct. A very good book with some excellent photos and useful family trees, but strangely no map of the battlefield, an odd omission for which I must dock it half a point.
♥ ♥ ♥
Clear and fast-paced and well-written, with excellent endnotes and structure. Barker clearly has a massive crush on Henry V, and she justifies it.
After reading historical fiction novel of the same name by Bernard Cornwell, I felt it prudent to learn the true story and events of the amazing battle that took place in 1415. This answered every question I had, and all of the ones I never thought to ask. I was absolutely amazed by the detail and intricacies of medieval life, chivalry, and combat. It is filled with astounding anecdotes of the lives of the men who were prominent and immortalized and those whose names have been lost to time. I highly recommend this to anyone for a great read on medieval military and combat!
Henry V is one of my heroes (largely - okay, more like exclusively - based on Shakespeare's plays), so of course I had to read this book! It tells the history of the battle, from the preparatory material (i.e. situations in France and England at the time, the nature of the quarrel, etc.) to the long-term outcomes for both sides. Especially interesting was the way Barker engaged with some of the legendary material (including Shakespeare), corroborating certain aspects and debunking others. The history is solid, and the narrative is thorough and interesting. Highly recommended for history buffs.
Story of the battle of Agincourt. Well told. (I need to learn more about
the English-French wars.) Makes the English victory more of a mystery,
because it implies that a large part of the battle was a slugging match, and
hen numbers should have told.

The 5-foot-11, 207-pound prospect plays quarterback for Lovejoy High School, but is likely to move to another position in college although he could play signal caller in the right system. Blessed with sub 4.6 speed, a 35-inch vertical jump,excellent quickness and terrific transitional skills, Fannin could play safety, cornerback, wide receiver, running back or even linebacker at the next level.
"I like Florida, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee the most right now," Fannin told Scout.com's Scott Kennedy in a recent interview. "All of the schools are recruiting me pretty much as an athlete. Auburn said either running back or quarterback. Others have said defensive back. It doesn't really matter though."
While Fannin might be considered a risk since he would have to learn a new position and develop experience at the collegiate level, he might actually be a bargain for a program like Tennessee that is scholarship strapped this season with limited numbers to offer. Plus the Vols have needs at each position Fannin projects — except quarterback.
A former teammate of Tennessee offensive linemen Anthony Parker and Chris Scott, Fannin listed the Vols as his leader in June, but has since amended that stance and currently has UT listed even with Auburn, LSU and Florida. He also has offers from Georgia, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Ole Miss, Tulane, Georgia Tech, Nebraska and Duke among others.
"I like the fan support and the coaching staff at Tennessee," he said in the interview with Scott. "I'm going to try and get up there for the Tennessee-Georgia game this fall. I'm going to camp at Auburn, and I've always liked them, and now they're coming off of an undefeated season. I might be able to come in and play early there. I liked LSU a lot too for a while, but they kind of fell off when Saban left, so I'm going to keep an eye on how they do this fall. I got to meet Coach Meyer and Coach Drayton at Florida, and I like them a lot."
Auburn's interest in Fannin playing quarterback could give the Tigers an edge. Also the new offensive system at Florida fits well with Fannin's talents for running spread formations and executing run-pass options. Yet playing wide receiver, defensive back or running back could be his quickest route to early playing time, which he considers high among his criteria.
"I'll be looking at early playing time and getting a good education from the school," he said. "I want to get an education and play on a quality team. I also want to go to a place that can get me to the next level."
His surest course to the NFL will not be as a signal caller, but it could be as a Tennessee Vol.

Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story
by Angela Shelf Medearis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This story was wonderfully illustrated. The story teaches students a wonderful lesson tied into the seven principles of Kwanzaa. The author gives an excellent description of Kwanzaa's history and principles in the beginning and even gives a fun craft activity at the end. However, the principles will not be obvious to children through the story alone. Connections need to be made through the information at the beginning or through discussion. But, it's an excellent book to discuss with children.
Lovely folk tale explaining Kwaanza.
Seven different colors of thread
In this fable seven sons from a small African village are always quarreling. One day the father died and the seven brothers had to make gold out of the seven spools of thread that the father left for them . If they succeed then they get all of the fathers' possessions. They worked together to make a loom and weave the most beautiful fabric. The king bought the fabric for gold and they sons taught the other villagers how to make the fabric from the loom. The villagers prospered. I would use this story as a multicultural tale which teaches a moral of how to work together and not be greedy. I love the art used on the black cards which scratch out the rainbow scenes.
In an African village, seven brothers live a miserable life of constant bickering and fighting. However, when their father dies he leaves a very strange will: the brothers must make gold from seven spools of colored thread by sundown, or they will all be left with no inheritance and become beggars. Using the "seven principles" of Kwanzaa, the brothers pull together for the sake of their family and their community. The seven Ashanti brothers learn to work together as a family, farming the land, and living life in honor of their late father.

Eddie Jefferson
Although there were a couple obscure early examples (Bee Palmer in 1929 and Marion Harris in 1934, both performing "Singing the Blues"), Eddie Jefferson is considered the founder, and premier performer of vocalese, the art of taking a recording and writing words to the solos, which Jefferson was practicing as early as 1949.
Eddie Jefferson's first career was as a tap dancer but in the bebop era he discovered his skill as a vocalese lyricist and singer. He wrote lyrics to Charlie Parker's version of "Parker's Mood" and Lester Young's "I Cover the Waterfront" early on, and he is responsible for "Moody's Mood for Love" (based on James Moody's alto solo on "I'm in the Mood for Love"). King Pleasure recorded "Moody's Mood for Love" before Jefferson (getting the hit) and had his own lyrics to "Parker's Mood," but in time Jefferson was recognized as the founder of the idiom.Read more

Nor did the marketdroid who came up with "0 - 3 month" sizes for babies. Everybody I know with full-term babies could no more put the "0-3 month" size clothes on their newborn than one can put a hawser through the eye of a needle.

—In the Oct. 6, 1951, issue of The Journal (page 568), Hollander reports three cases of air embolism as a complication of pneumoperitoneum. In two patients the injection of air was made into the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. In the other case it is stated only that the needle was introduced into "the peritoneal cavity."This is to report two additional instances of proved air embolism due to pneumoperitoneum occurring in the course of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. In both patients the injection was made into the right upper quadrant. There was one fatality. Autopsy revealed air in the right auricle and right ventricle with scratch and puncture marks on the inferior surface of the liver. The other patient recovered completely from a sudden episode of hemiplegia and collapse, which occurred during the pneumoperitoneum injection. Air was aspirated from the right ventricle during the period

The Redskins' star wide receiver heads back to the locker room early, after appearing to hurt his foot during a walkthrough.
Tulane alum vies for a spot in Washington's deep receiving corps.
Re-tooled receiving corps leaves fourth-year pro one of many speedsters.
Deeper receiving corps should lessen pressure on Pierre Garcon, who saw plenty of double coverage a year ago.
The wide receiver left practice early on Monday because of a sore right hamstring, but neither he, nor coach Jay Gruden, seemed overly concerned.
Wide receiver Leonard Hankerson has received clearance to run, but he is not yet ready to return from knee surgery.
The introduction to the offense that Roberts received during the offseason – when he, Garcon and Jackson shared the field and lined up in a number of different positions – helped set his mind at ease.
Moves last season knocked Santana Moss from the No. 1 receiving target to third. Now another offseason of action at wide receiver, Moss's role looks as if it could diminish even more.
Washington's addition of DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts to partner up with Pierre Garcon gives the team a formidable trio of receivers.
A knee injury derailed Leonard Hankerson's most promising season to date. He might soon be healthy again, but the Redskins wide receiver group looks much different.

Okay then lets start with you! Hillary is NOT a felon and President Obama's administration is FAR from being currupt in fact it has been a relatively scandal free Presidency. You may not agree with what they have done, you may disagree with the ACA or that Global Warming is real and a hundred thousand other things but he is not corrupt. I'm sure you were saying the same thing about the last Democratic President, and have already started on the next President.
Doesn't Trump say that Global Warming is a Chinese plot?
No problem. Trump as the leader of the republians will build a wall, which Santa Claus will pay for, around the Artic sea thus raising the sea and cooling it.
Zero but don't try to convince Hawcreek of that fact. He decided a long time ago to just close his eyes and take one side on every issue. Moreover he also decided that since he doesn't agree with someone then they must be the most corrupt ever. When the world passes you by the only option is hyperbole, hysterics and conspiracy theories.
Yup dummy a wall will stop all spanish pop ups. No doubt about it.
the nut jobs are going to start a war of impeachment each side impeaching anyone they don't like.

by the time they cut the div, if they do, the price will have dropped to an over reaction. Reits don't only make money in low interest settings what they need is stable interest rates. The Fed is raising rates so they have some bullets for the next recession. IMO Reits are a good investment for the long term.

A notable author, filmmaker and musician, the Kansas native is most famous for his photographs, which documented poverty and segregation during the civil rights movement.. History Is Complicated By Lindsey Herkommer DeVries • Sep 16, 2015 Ulrich Museum of Art Listen Listening... / 1:55 History is complicated. For the exhibition Postdate: Photography and Inherited History in India at the Ulrich Museum, nine contemporary South Asian artists examine their colonial history through the medium of photography. How Do We Look At Art When We Look At Art? By Lindsey Herkommer DeVries • Oct 15, 2014 Jose Alvarado / Ulrich Museum of Art When was the last time you saw an art show? I mean really saw. Exhibition Celebrates 60 Years Of Bruce Conner's Print Works By Lindsey Herkommer DeVries • Sep 17, 2014 Courtesy Magnolia Editions, Oakland, CA. © 2014 Conner Family Trust, San Francisco / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York The Ulrich Museum's fall exhibition Bruce Conner: Somebody Else's Prints is a retrospective that celebrates 60 years of Bruce Conner's print works. Conner grew up in Wichita and attended University of Wichita. He settled in San Francisco by 1957, and soon became a key visual artist of the Beat generation. Conner was an experimental, poetic and subversive artist who made video art as early as 1958. In this exhibit, his subversion of printmaking traditions – like signing his work with a thumbprint - along with obsessive mark-making--characterize his early years. A Dazzling Spectrum of Floating Color By Lindsey Herkommer DeVries • Jul 23, 2014 Working on the installation Sen by artist Lisa Solomon was an all-hands-on-deck affair at the Ulrich Underground. I was one of many on the team and its completion was nothing short of a Herculean effort. The title, Sen, is the Japanese word for 'one thousand'. Most literally, this title describes the 1,000 hand-made doilies pinned to the wall. These doilies were made by participants from around the world.

Error: conflicting types for....
I'm looking solution for the following problem.
I have two libraries with two different queue implementations. but with same structure name as "queuetype".
Now if I include both of the header files in my code, compilation will go for toss saying "error: conflicting types for 'queuetype' "
I need to include both the files.
How can I resolve this issue??
Thanks in advance.
Re: Error: conflicting types for....
Actually in the both header files you are having the same structure. So when you are trying to include the second header file it will be like another definition or re-declaration for that structure. Thats why this kind of situation is occuring
Re: Error: conflicting types for....
Yeah, is there a solution for this?
Re: Error: conflicting types for....
You can use the macros for this.
IFDEF structure_name
check this condition
If the structure is already defined then UNDEF of that structure.
Hopes this will help
Re: Error: conflicting types for....
Very often you'll see in header files something like

If you could change anything in your life, what would you change?
Asking this question because it was brought up in one of my college classes.
Lots of people said different things, but I was very surprised that I am honestly the only person who said "nothing".
I mean, yeah, I've had lots of bad stuff happen to me, but the one thing that influenced my life the most, 3 torn ACLs and developing arthritis at just 18, that basically ruined my chance of going to an Ivy league school or getting a Division 1 football scholarship, is not only the worst thing to happen to me, but the best.
It made me who I was. I learned the true value of hard work. I stopped being a ****y, arrogant ******* with no work ethic or motivation to do anything with my life.
The pain I had to go through (and am still going through) to get back to where I was taught me not to take anything for granted and I really proved to myself what I was really capable of, despite what others think.
Don't mean to start up some emotional train or any bull**** like that, but all the bad things that have happened to me made me stronger, they made me appreciate things more, and if I could go back and change things, I wouldn't, because I would not be the same person I am today.
Anyone know this feeling? I don't get why anyone would want to change ANYTHING in their past.

What are you most proud of? How nice it tasted and the fact it looked great when cut. Mr 5 absolutely loved it :-)
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I loved the buttercream recipe but the butter has to be at room temperature. Use unsalted butter I accidentally did one of the two batches with regular salted butter. It was ok but I am salt senstivie and could taste it. Trust in the recipe it does work.

Survival Horror
Survival Horror
Jan 31, 2006 6:29AM PST
Last Friday I started a new job bartending at this bar called the Woodland Inn. The bar is in the basement of the Inn and it's a pretty sweet gig. I get plenty of hours and the tips are great, yup, no complaints here... until I have to navigate the the dark corridors to go get ice. Now, I don't scare easy, I'm not afraid of the dark, no, I can't say that I actually got scared, but walking around in the back of this bar in the dark with a 5 gallon ice bucket reminded me of my first foray into the survival horror genre. This place looks just like the mansion in the first RE! The flickering fluorescent lights added to the resemblence. On my fifth go-around of the night, on my way back with the ice that was going to satiate everyones need for jack and cokes and whatnot, I was met by this heavier set medieval garbed quasi-goth chick hanging by the entry way talking on a cell phone. Tyrant? Nemesis? You tell me. I was half expecting load times where you see the door open before you enter the next area.

Skip to comments.Why we're a divided nation
Posted on 11/10/2004 3:40:26 AM PST by Tom D.
Why We're a Divided Nation
Walter E. Williams
November 10, 2004
Recent elections pointed to deepening divisions among American people, but has anyone given serious thought to just why? I have part of the answer, which starts off with a simple example.
Different Americans have different and intensive preferences for cars, food, clothing and entertainment. For example, some Americans love opera and hate rock and roll. Others have opposite preferences, loving rock and roll and hating opera. When's the last time you heard of rock-and-roll lovers in conflict with opera lovers? It seldom, if ever, happens. Why? Those who love operas get what they want, and those who love rock and roll get what they want, and both can live in peace with one another.
Suppose that instead of freedom in the music market, decisions on what kind of music people could listen to were made in the political arena. It would be either opera or rock and roll. Rock and rollers would be lined up against opera lovers. Why? It's simple. If the opera lovers win, rock and rollers would lose, and the reverse would happen if rock and rollers won. Conflict would emerge solely because the decision was made in the political arena.
The prime feature of political decision-making is that it's a zero-sum game. One person or group's gain is of necessity another person or group's loss. As such, political allocation of resources is conflict enhancing while market allocation is conflict reducing. The greater the number of decisions made in the political arena, the greater is the potential for conflict.
There are other implications of political decision-making. Throughout most of our history, we've lived in relative harmony. That's remarkable because just about every religion, racial and ethnic group in the world is represented in our country. These are the very racial/ethnic/religious groups that have for centuries been trying to slaughter one another in their home countries, among them: Turks and Armenians, Protestant and Catholic, Muslim and Jew, Croats and Serbs. While we haven't been a perfect nation, there have been no cases of the mass genocide and religious wars that have plagued the globe elsewhere. The closest we've come was the American Indian/European conflict, which pales by comparison.
The reason we've been able to live in relative harmony is that for most of our history government was small. There wasn't much pie to distribute politically.
When it's the political arena that determines who gets what goodies, the most effective coalitions are those with a proven record of being the most divisive -- those based on race, ethnicity, religion and region. As a matter of fact, our most costly conflict involved a coalition based upon region -- namely the War of 1861.
Many of the issues that divide us, aside from the Iraq war, are those best described as a zero-sum game, where one group's gain is of necessity another's loss. Examples are: racial preferences, Social Security, tax policy, trade restrictions, welfare and a host of other government policies that benefit one American at the expense of another American. You might be tempted to think that the brutal domestic conflict seen in other countries at other times can't happen here. That's nonsense. Americans are not super-humans; we possess the same frailties of other people in other places. If there were a severe economic calamity, I can imagine a political hustler exploiting those frailties here, just as Adolf Hitler did in Germany, blaming it on the Jews, the blacks, the East Coast, Catholics or free trade.
The best thing the president and Congress can do to heal our country is to reduce the impact of government on our lives. Doing so will not only produce a less divided country and greater economic efficiency but bear greater faith and allegiance to the vision of America held by our founders -- a country of limited government.

Willie, if you'd be so kind as to use your ping list so that your fellow protectionists can do their best to beat down Williams' arguments. Oh and put fallujah-nuker on your ping list too. He's cut from the same cloth as y'all.
Then there are those that love the US, and those that hate it.
Common sense is rare these days. Thankfully we have Mr. Williams.
Smart man, Williams. Bout my age and raised not far from my diverse Philly hood. Maybe the black voters are beginning to read him too. I never thought of Walt as a Libertarian. I'll have to reread his bio.
Excellent article. What arguments would you want beaten down?
I am very much on the same ideological page of Professor Williams and do enjoy reading his columns.
Words of wisdom.
Free trade is good and should be encouraged.
But no trade is free anywhere in the world.
Every country regulates the hell out of agriculture, and subsidizes it.
Most subsidize in some fashion or other their chief industries. We certainly do, with all sorts of creative tax breaks and allowances for target industries.
Faced with the reality of pervasive government subsidies for all manners of goods and services, coming from everywhere around the globe, simply throwing open the door unquestioningly to the high concept of "free trade" is naive.
An example: goods coming from China are cheap. That is good. That makes life better for American consumers. But many of the cheapest consumer goods are made by slaves in prison camps. Catholics and Chinese democrats are barely fed and unpaid, and work their lives away in chains to produce export goods. Yes, we get to buy sweaters for $10 imstead of $30 from an American manufacture or European import, but that isn't really free trade making lives better. It is the illusion of free trade. What it really is, is the purchase of goods made artificially cheap by the Chinese government subsidy of forced slavery and the torment of millions.
Therefore, we must be cautious. We cannot simply drop trade restrictions, tarriffs, and a regulation. If we want all articles of clothing in America made by Chinese slaves, all we need to do is deregulate and take whatever they will send us as cheaply as possible. In addition to being wrong in the absolute sense (assuming that the enslavement of people simply for being Catholic is wrong), it will also unemploy a lot of Americans. It is not the case that they cannot compete. Rather, it is that the free market cannot compete with slave labor in ANY manufacturing industry.
Nor can the free market compete with massive government subsidies that will subsidize a loss year after year in order to gain market share.
A wiser approach is to have free trade with free countries on as many goods as are produced in the free market, and to have restrictions and tarriffs on those goods - like Chinese sweaters and massively subsidized European agricultural products - that are not produced by anything like a free market.
I feel compelled to disagree on some matters here. I do not believe that market openness has to be a reciprocal arrangement for benefits to be had - and to be had by all. While it would seem to make sense that it would be immoral to trade with countries that do not observe property & human rights, it just so happens that trade (a fundamental ingredient of capitalism) helps facilitate a move toward observing these rights. Cutting off trade does not do these "slaves" any favors. The idea behind using sanctions against rogue governments needs to be carefully considered. Rogue government isolation has given mixed results of success. I am one of those who believe that economic forces are less costly than military forces. And a little capitalist propaganda [used for the lack of a better word] doesn't hurt either.
Come on! The reason we are a divided nation is because the Republicans own the House, Senate and the Presidency. If the Democrats owned it all we could finally be united.
That so true AND funny; the Democrats don't realize how sad they are!
A Walter E. Williams sound wisdom ping!
Now that I can place you in a group that is for or against something opposite my feelings, I have very effectively divided America.
You will not run to fight beside me if we are attacked by a terrorist group! Why not? Because I have too many despicable traits that thrity years ago,l you would never have even considered to examine during a terrorist attack.
Here I am
the opposite of you in every catagory-American.
You have been quietly taught to hate me and you never realized what was happening during your re-education. You have been taught to support diversity, which serves only to show how we are differnt. It is not a reunification, a loving tactic. The only purpose is to DIVIDE AMEERICA into small groups because small groups will not automatically support each other until someone explain why we should support each other.
Look at this list and see all of our similar traits.
American-Lower poor class
American-camp educated
American-pickup driving
American-Gun owning
American-2nd Amendment supporter
American-pro abortion
American-pro public school system
American-pro government
American-Pro trade
American-Anti war
American-Navajo speaking
American-closed border supporter
and worst of all American-Democrat supporter
Big difference, huh? Place "American" first and all the others don't seem quite so important, do they?
Williams has it right. The more money in D.C., the more viscious the fight will be to control how it will be allocated.
Anytime you wish, you can put my name at the bottom of your views on free trade! We agree 100% so far. LOL

Subject: how the two parties were formed
Division of the human family into 2 distinct political groups began some
12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic
hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains in the summer &
would go to the beach & live on fish & lobster in winter.
The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer
& the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the
These were the foundation of modern civilization & together were the
catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups:
Liberals & Conservatives.
When beer was discovered it required grain & that was the beginning of
agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented
yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for
them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how
villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking & killing animals to B-B-Q at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known
as "the Conservative movement".
Other men who were weaker & less skilled at hunting learned to live off
the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's & doing the
sewing, fetching & hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became
known as 'girleymen'.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats,
the trade union, the invention of group therapy & group hugs & the
concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat & beer
that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most
powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by
the jackass.
Modern liberals like white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw
fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, & French food are
standard liberal fare. Another interesting revolutionary side note: most
of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in
Hollywood & group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the
designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also
Conservatives drink beer and whiskey and eat red meat & potatoes.
Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,
construction workers, medical doctors, police officers, corporate
executives, soldiers, and athletes.
You got that right. There ain't no such thing as "free trade." How many pages in the NAFTA "free trade" agreement? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?
Free trade is the movement of goods and services across borders without hindrance or let.
When a 10 year old kid trades three baseball cards for a CD, that's free trade. Kids naturally get "free trade" without even thinking about it, but I don't believe adults in government will ever understand it.
Ok, let's explore this a little further. But let's look at free interstate trade instead.
Now let's look at the federal prison system and divide it up into three categories: Enron white collar economic experts, Internet hackers, and low-skilled labor.
Alright, now let's look at the Constitution. The 13th Amendment permits the imposition of slavery as punishment for a crime.
So, now let's suppose that an enterprising Justice Department does three things.
First, it organizes the white collar criminals - highly trained folks - into a tightly supervised banking institution, and has these skilled folks start making loans from the federal treasury at 2 percent under the market rate. Since the skilled labor is free (the prisoners get early release if they do this sort of work), this "Prisoner's Bank" could undercut every other financial institution in America. Further, because the capital source is the government, the bank cannot go out of business.
What's wrong with that? Consumers will get cheap loans. Businesses will get cheap loans. Of course, Citibank and Goldman Sachs will go out of business, but so what.
Now just move that bank across a national border, and you have the same economic effect.
There is nothing magic about international trade vis a vis interstate trade. So if it's alright to import cheap goods and services from such practices abroad, it should be alright to get them right here.
Now let's look at the Internet hackers. Computer network services and software programming are big business. Hackers and intellectual property thieves are some of the best in the business. They are concentrated in the hands of the federal government, in the prison system. So, why doesn't the federal government collect all those hackers and incorporate them into a prison-wage competitive programming and internet service provider? The government can provide the services, gratis. The labor is free, and has an incentive to do a good job (early release). There are no training costs. Supervisory costs are a little higher. Now let's turn Prison Programmers, Inc. against Compaq and Optimum Online. The commercial providers are dead meat, because Prison Programmers gets its hardware free and its labor free. Oh, and the FCC can simply grant them bandwidth for free.
The free hardware and access and subsidized labor are features of software pirates abroad. Obviously domestic companies cannot compete with them. And there is no economic difference if you just move the subsidies within the US and make it a feature of interstate trade.
Finally, the low skilled labor. These folks can be trained as carpenters, plasterers, construction workers and assembly line workers in 6 months. And then the government can farm them out at a quarter the price of union labor. The prison system would pay for itself, and our cars and houses would be cheaper.
Of course in the long run government subsidized prison labor that directly competed with the private market might not be sustainable (but then again, it might be). But in the short run and the medium run, it would put the competition out of business. Unemployment checks and welfare benefits are expensive...and then there is the pesky problem of democracy: people will vote to change the rules if they feel they are being unfairly screwed.
That's why this sort of thing hasn't happened already within the US. Democracy doesn't allow unfair competition here. Now, moving across an international border doesn't change any of the economics of anything any more than a state border does.
So, what you say about free trade being good overall is, I think, right, but it cannot be unregulated free trade. Free enterprise cannot compete with slave labor, and pouring cash into the pockets of slave labor exporters is really pouring cash into the treasury of the Chinese government, where it will be used not to improve the lot of labor, but to build missiles to aim at us.
The freer the trade with Canada and Britain and France the better. But even there, the subsidy problems are dogged. One way free trade with China or Cuba or Iran is not a brilliant idea, ultimately for national security reasons.
Cheap Chinese goods made by slave labor are flooding Western markets.
It is true that plantation slavery in the South was not terribly profitable (though it was not the economic dog it is often depicted as either), but agriculture is limited by per acre crop yields, and since slaves could be bought or sold, and other Christian considerations limited what plantation owners could do, this was not comparable to China.
In China, the state makes no pretence of having to provide for the prisoner slaves cradle to grave. They are work units to be used. If they die, there are more prisoners. If they underproduce, they are starved. If this makes them underproduce more, they are allowed to starve to death as an example to the others. The work they do is manufacturing of low-tech stuff, so there is no natural limitation on output (such as the per-acre crop yield limitations in the Old South).
And the proof that this sort of slavery - where the slave is simply worked to death and replaced by another slave from a limitless population - is effective is the way that these cheap slave-made goods out of China are clobbering the competition.
Historically, one has to go all the way back to the Roman Empire to find a comparable situation. When the slave masters have no regard at all for the lives of their slaves, and have no compunction about killing them, starving them, torturing them, etc, simply as an example for other slaves, and where human life is so cheap and abundant that slaves are more easily replaced with another slave than nursed and repaired back to health when they are broken or get sick...you have the makings of a Roman or Chinese situation. Roman style slavery was effective. Unbelievably brutal, but effective. The proof is the sheer power of the Roman Empire, whose core areas were all a slave-based agricultural economy.
The modern proof is the competitive advantage China has in the export of small cheap widgets. China makes them for free, because as far as the Communist government is concerned, starving a laborer to death and tossing him in the rice paddy behind the prison (after harvesting his skin and corneas, of course) is free, and there are always more prisoners.
One cannot underprice manufacturers who can torture and kill their workers to mass produce simple widgets. And the incentive of being given FOOD for making a production quota, or being STARVED for missing it, has proven more than sufficient to keep the Chinese production lines moving.
In the South, Christianity imposed real limits on the slave owners. China ain't Christian. And no American widget manufacturer, or for that matter an Indonesian or Mexican one, has a hope in hell of competing with manufacturers who can chain their labor to the machines and use food as the incentive to work. China's ascendancy is built on bones. But it IS an ascendancy. And it will continue to be so unless LEGAL barriers are erected against Chinese goods made in this way. They will always be cheaper and abundant. There is no market force that can beat such goods. You simply have to ban them from entering the market, unless you want to have more slavery in China. They won't do it if they can't sell the goods.
Moving through the parts:
In the South, Christianity prevented the rise of public torture for entertainment. That is what the Roman Colosseum was. In the South, slave owners felt the need to Christianize their slaves, and they did. In the South, slaves were punished for disobedience, but were generally not murdered for the hell of it. There was a mental barrier against simply killing slaves because they pissed somebody off.
There was almost certainly a lot more death inflicted on Southern blacks in the era of lynching (c. 1880-1910) than in the slave era.
Are free people more productive? Generally, yes. Northern food farms were more productive than Southern slave plantations, for example. Free labor does tend to be more productive per acre. But that does not mean that it is competitive. In the Roman Empire, freehold farmers were squeezed out by the great slave plantations because the great landowners had the advantage of vast economies of scale. Yes, one acre of free land was more productive than an acre of slave land, but two acres of slave land are more productive than one acre of free land, and there is a natural limit to the number of acres that a single farmer can farm. He has to feed himself and his family, and maintain a certain standard of life. The slave could be - and generally was - kept nearly naked and fed enough to keep up his strength, but paid nothing.
Likewise in the States. In the Southern states, there was no freehold competition with the great slave plantations for export crops. Why? Not because it was illegal to set up a freehold farm and farm it with free labor. Because a slave plantation brings a lot more profit to the owner than a freehold plantation.
As to China, giving exact statistical proof of any assertion I made is impossible. China hides that it does this, dissembles about slave labor. Pretends that things are otherwise. It is impossible to gather the data, because it is illegal to collect it there, and the whole slave economy is hidden. We know about it from the survivors. The same was true of the Soviet Gulag and Nazi Germany.
I don't think that historically we would have been better off having a free trade regime with the Nazis or with the Soviets. But at the time that those regimes were in place, it was not possible to get objective data out of them, and it was always possible to deny that the places were really as bad as people said they were. One simply had to trust that survivors and refugees were telling the truth.
Now, I do trust that the survivors of Chinese slave camps are telling the truth, and that the reports, never very specific (and therefore never allowing definitive proof or quantization of the facts) that come out of China of millions of prison slaves making widgets for export is true. Maybe it's all calumnious lies by people with an axe to grind against the Chinese regime. I doubt it, but maybe.
Anyway, free labor is more productive, all things being equal. But that does not mean that free farms are more profitable to the owners. Look at society as a whole, and certainly the American North was more robust and prosperous than the American South before the War. But people do not live collectively but individually. And on an individual basis, the Southern slaveholding class was an aristocratic elite enjoying wealth and privilege unmatched within America, not just in absolute terms - wealthy plantation owners were on a par with certain Northern railroadmen and proto-industrialists, but in relative terms. No Northern industrialist had the power to whip his laborers, or to force himself upon their wives, to be bowed and scraped to, and to live like a Lord of the Manor, because the Northern industrialist was a rich guy, but the Southern plantation owner WAS the Lord of the Manor.
Was that good for Southern society as a whole?
Was it BETTER, for a sizeable chunk of Southern society, than any more egalitarian system?
Much. And it would have stayed that way too, absent a violent upheaval.
The House of Saud, or the apparatchiks of the Chinese Communist Party, live much better lives under the current regime than they will ever manage would those countries become free market democracies.
Now, over time, in the long run, the freer societies tend to win out. (Not always. France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg and Austria all lost to Germany, and England was on its way to losing too. But for foreign intervention, fascism or communism would have overwhelmed free market capitalism in Europe.) But that long run can take a long time, and we don't have an extended time period in history to look back across and see a true free market working anywhere to be able to gauge our models. We say, for example, that Britain was a free market state back in the 19th Century, but that's not true. Britain conquered its markets and didn't let anyone else sell there. Nor did Britain permit its colonies, like India, to produce goods that would compete with British industry. So yes, Britain allowed a great degree of free importation into Britain, from places like France and Germany and the US. But Britain did NOT allow the French to export into India, or the Americans to export into Kenya. Nor did the British let the Indians produce textiles to compete with their goods, nor let the Chinese opt to NOT import opium. The classic case study of the free market usually cited, the British Empire, was anything but.
I sound like I am arguing against the free market. But I am not. I am arguing that the free market is a good thing, but that it cannot be an unregulated free market.
In your well thought out response (with its parallels) you make the assertion that the government subsidies are free. While it's true enough that the resources come at zero cost to the industry being subsidized, it would be entirely inaccurate to claim that the resources that our collected & distributed by that government are "free". There are very real non-monetary costs associated with that kind of behavior. The operative acronym "TANSTAAFL" is always in play.
The intellectual property theft argument is a separate issue.
Great debate. To answer your question about the Chinese labor proportion that is prison/slave labor, the ratio is very low. I personally have knowledge regarding this and I don't have any links to provide as proof.
What I will tell you is that the Fortune 100 companies "outsourcing" manufacturing to China are very, very, very careful about this. The last thing they want is some "60 Minutes" expose that outs them as a slave labor manufacturer.

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas casinos have made the New England Patriots favorites to win the Super Bowl thanks to their national following, a decade of winning and the playoff mystique of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick.
In odds posted Sunday night by Cantor Gaming, the Patriots opened as three-point favorites over the New York Giants after New York beat San Francisco 20-17 in overtime in the NFC championship game, Race and Sports Director Mike Colbert said.
"The public will still like New England," Colbert said. "I don't think people are actually hip to how good these NFC teams are."
The over-under was set at 53 points, while New England betting fees were adjusted to be slightly more expensive than normal, with bettors required to wager $115 to win $100 rather than $110 to win $100.

Final Days of Shadowshop at SFMOMA!
Created by Stephanie Syjoco, Shadowhop is a temporary exhibit in the 5th floor galleries of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a giftshop within the museum unrelated to the official museum giftshop (she does a much better job of explaining it here). With everything priced between $1-$250 (most works between $1-$50), and the participating artists taking home 100% of their sales, Shadowshop is a unique, and uniquely fun, experience for both artists and customers. The inventory of the shop has changed constantly over the past five months, with limited-edition works selling out and new works and artists being added all the time. The images above are some of my favorites, but please don't be upset if you go to Shadowshop and they're not available! When I was perusing the goods, I noticed some amazing handmade pinatas, and by the time I was ready to check-out the entire limited-edition run of the pinatas had sold out! The Shadowshopper site features many of the products, both past and present, with fascinating descriptions and discussions- it's a great place to discover new artists if you're unable to make it to the shop itself, closing forever on May 1st! A few of my favorites (again, these might not still be available!):
- The Thank You Have A Nice Day "chinatown chic" shopping bag from Julie W. Chang
- A Mediated Living Box containing a photo and tiny sculptures by Kelly Lynn Jones
- Handpainted striped dessert plates by Leah Rosenberg
- Respect Yourself silkscreened print by Nathan Lynch.
