Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.
It was a different time. We don't do that anymore!
Don't get high off your own supply... Still true, we import and export more as we consume.
But those trade relationships are definitely equitable these days, right?
...right??
Like, we bought and sold spice... For money.
People obviously wanted spice and paid for it.
That's how trade and industry work. We didn't just bring back exotic rocks.
You should read some educational books, maybe try some Marx ones before you grow up some hair
Isn't Marx the one that never worked nor had any money his entire life? Yup!
It's good to read Marx books, but history books are better. That way you can see examples of how socialism always fails due to human corruption.
