Isn't all 'comparative advantage' stuff fake though?
E: Sorry, genuinely asking, not doing a bit.
You have to take power dynamics in consideration when talking about comparative advantages. For example, when comparing the US to the textile industry in East Asia, the power dynamics perpetuate unequal labor conditions because more the affluent economic can leverage their buying power to dictate terms that are favorable to them but detrimental to workers.
