As is the case with venezuela nationalizing an industry is usually about the saem as stealing. Some people had real assets involved and the government comes and "nationalizes" them. . .usually either straight stealing it, or giving chump rates for the property, equipment. Stealing is definitely a violation of free trade.
. . . er we are off topic I think though.
