I'm not talking about sponsored slanted takes on benefits. I'm talking about a general myopia focusing on short-term I was in favor of the TPP, at least the parts that both dealt with some of the inequalities and esp. in that it constrained China. CCP is a huge problem, and is both uniquely well-positioned and explicitly strategizing to exploit this myopia. It may be the only example like this, but such a failure can be existential. That's why it becomes a focus. Many other situations are different, but giving away core manufacturing know-how is not typically covered by economists as a long-term issue, and is very hard to restore once lost.
