Only when you are industrialised.Free trade is good
We need a great internet firewall like china.Why are you confused
We?We need a great internet firewall like china.
Non western nations.
you doxed me
yes you got this.Free trade creates a net economic surplus but states aren't corporations they have militaries and will try to form local monopolies to protect their stability & interests over embracing creative destruction. So free trade between countries is different from free trade between different US states for example (there is no geopolitical competition between Colorado & California so they can engage in unrestricted commerce without any issue).
It often makes political & geopolitical sense to subsidize food production to keep prices low and to avoid being blockaded in a conflict, same with developing a domestic supply of energy, steel, car manufacturing, military equipment, etc.
Free trade being economically optimal is not the same as free trade being the optimal policy for a government to adopt.
