Depends if you consider only your nation and your people important. If you place more value in humanity itself, then free trade puts the benefits of corporations and humanity before the benefit of nations.
- sirtaj 11y agoOnly if free trade implies open borders. Capital mobility without labour mobility is a severely imbalanced market and hard to pass off as a benefit to humanity.
- RyanZAG 11y agoWe have free trade, but no open borders. Yet it has caused huge benefit to humanity. So I would change your statement as well. Free trade is a huge benefit for humanity as a whole. Open borders may or may not be a huge benefit for humanity, as we have not tried it yet. The current economic migrant crisis will be a good starting point for an investigation and we will see if they integrate well.
