comparative property

n. Females with mediocre attractiveness often have a friend they always keep by their side that is much less attractive than themselves thus making them hotter by comparison. This always causes a problem when a guy and his buddy and looking to pick up chicks. Even though the one girl is rather cute, nobody wants to jump on the grenade.
Billy: "Hey Tony, check out those chicks over there. The one on the left is pretty cute but sadly her friend is less than satisfactory."
Tony: "Isn't that what they call the Comparative Property?"
Billy: "Yeah, I think so. So... what should we do?"
Tony: "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

comprador

(SOCIOLOGY) merchant class in a colony; usually dependent on exports of raw material from the colony (or former colony) in exchange for overpriced imports from the former colonial power.

As a class, the compradors are usually nationalistic--they usually want the trappings of independence. However, they are totally dependent on the global economy and its structure of hegemony. The rich nations benefit from excellent terms of trade, specialization in manufactured goods or intellectual property, etc.

After nominal independence, the comprador class usually become very powerful in the former colony; major powers like the USA or the EU ensure the comprador remain the de facto leaders of the colony. Anti-US rhetoric is usually just political theater or may reflect petty rivalry on the part of the compradors with their foreign masters.
Eventually, the terms of trade become so bad that the relationship breaks down and the country suffers a sovereign debt default, revolution, or permanent FUBAR status. At this point the comprador class has to share power with the local Junker class.

Comparalyze

The act of measuring yourself against someone else in such a way that you become convinced you’ll never reach the level they’re at–causing you to give up trying altogether.
If you spend all your energy examining the ways in which you're inferior to others, you'll comparalyze yourself. The only person you should compare yourself against is you.
