Trade = specialization = do more, better & cheaper
It is precisely because
there is so much poverty, hunger and illness that the world must be very
careful not to get in the way of the things that have bettered so many lives
already – the tools of trade, technology and trust, of specialization and
exchange.
Matt Ridley
PS yes as long as trade
is free the world will do well. Don’t interrupt what is working for 200 years.
Don’t mess just because despite everybody is getting better a minority is doing
even better (. That is the way it is. To close commerce and free trade we lose
specialization and to do a bit of everything = poverty.
Adam Smith pointed out that there were three things that make us more prosperous, in a general sort of way: freedom to pursue our own self-interest; specialization, which he called division of labor; and freedom of trade. P. J. O'Rourke
