Trade does not make everyone better off. There are winners and losers in trade. All trade theory says is the that the net gains are positive. Nothing about distribution. If you're making the good that your country doesn't have the comparative advantage in, you're gonna lose. And the losses are not just transitional. Because of globalization, the median wage has been stagnant. Most of the gains accrued have been at the top. Of course, economists prefer to compensate the losers instead of protect. That is why we need social safety nets. We need to make the tax system more progressive in order to stem the tide of protectionism. |

If I had it to do again, I would take an economics class.

I actually made it through college with taking only one semester of math (I think it was only trigonometry, too).

What you didn't do unit circles, vectors, linear algebra or other fun stuff? What did you do while I was wasting my time earning 160 credits?

Nonono. Who cares about theory when you can find an excuse for more partial differentiation?
