Free markets and free trade lift more people out of poverty than any type of central planning or protectionism
Somehow, we’ve gotten the idea in this country that everything should be equal. Some think because free markets and free trade doesn’t bring about 100% equalization in the economy , well, then that means they don’t work. Of course, there are jobs that do get negatively impacted by free trade. But more people and businesses are harmed with protectionist trade policies.
The Americans steel industry may reap some benefits from protectionism. But everybody else is harmed by them
It’s the same with free markets. Not everybody does well in a free market economy. But more people than not benefit
And that’s why, like socialism, MAGAism/populism doesn’t work
Things changed for the better for the Swedish people when they abandoned their socialism and you will see the same thing over time for the people of Argentina
Hopefully the same thing will happen one day to the people of Cuba and Venezuela, and God willing, the poor people of North Korea
