BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is down-to-earth and pragmatic, practical and sensible, and even a bit folksy. Family and friends have given up asking you out for lunch because you never pick up the check. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors trying to buy either a T-shirt commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a rotisserie oven that can also toast bread. Be on the lookout for defective microphones. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter K, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 498663. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

LAW OF COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE A principle that states that every nation, worker, or production entity has a production activity that incurs a lower opportunity cost than that of another nation, worker, or production entity, which means that trade between the two can be beneficial to both if each specializes in the production of a good with lower relative opportunity cost. This law is most often studied in the confines of international trade, but it also applies to labor and other types of production.
