So does this mean if you buy something from someone, they own you? It is not like we couldn't manufacturer those products here if we wanted to. We could. It would just cost alot more for consumers to buy those products.
The American standard of living is high because we buy goods produced in third world countries made by people living in poverty. But without our buying their goods, they would be even poorer. It doesn't mean that they own us, though.
