Free trade is an important economic policy that has been brought to the forefront of debate. Arguments have varied from the potential harm it brings to specific groups of people, to the idea that free trade is extremely beneficial in the increasing of competition and improving the nationwide economy. Free trade is a policy that practices removing restrictions such as tariffs, taxes, and bans, allowing for free participation among all kinds of economies and producers. In other words, free trade is a way to “break down” economic barriers. Comparative advantage is a term often used to support the policy of free trade. The theory of comparative advantage displays that if trading partners produce where there is the lowest opportunity cost, then

Here the intermediate resonance stabilizes using a carbenium ion and an oxonium ion. Therefore, this is also known as oxocarbenium ion intermediate formation which is a common phenomenon proposed for nucleotide assisted glycosyltransferase reactions.

The question of whether the U.S. should adopt a free international trade policy is a hotly debated one. Currently, the U.S. has a relatively open trade policy and enjoys free trade with twenty countries1 and more are being added to this list through new agreements. But does it benefit from free trade? Evidence, which I will present in this paper, show that the benefits of free trade highly outweigh the little and often misinterpreted disadvantages. In light of this, the U.S. should adopt a free trade policy and look forward to new trade agreements.

Since David Smith introduced the theory of the free market force known as the invisible hand in The Wealth of Nations, the argument for free trade was levied against the argument for protectionism. Smith believed that by providing people the freedom to produce and trade as they please, with limited government interference, enlightened self-interest would provide prosperity for all (Smith, 1937.) In Scotland, quality grapes had to be grown in hothouses, while grapes in France did not, which provided France a comparative advantage. Heating Scottish grapes made them more expensive than French grapes. But Scotland did have an abundance of wool which could be traded for grapes. Tariffs on French grapes would cost the Scottish consumer more as well as introduce inefficiency. Countries can enjoy higher levels of consumption if they produce the goods that they are relatively efficient at producing and import to goods that they are relatively inefficient at producing (Inside, 1994.) Specialization in activities that provide a comparative advantage is beneficial when a country produces what it produces best, keeping some for consumption and trading the rest. Even though protectionism advocates believe it is necessary to protect national security, save jobs, and help strategic infant industries, the

Current global events and economic and political issues historically have always influenced attitudes of the public and of governments towards trade. Looking historically from around 1848 during the time of the repealing of the Corn Laws in the UK until the creation of GATT, the international trade system has see-sawed between protectionist policies to liberal policies and back again. Pre-1848 the Corn Laws in Britain had provided a high level of protection for British produced agricultural products, however these laws were repealed in 1848 during a period of political reform in Britain and towards more liberal free trade policies (Krasner, 1976, p. 324). This was during a time of famine in Europe, so freer trade laws were seen as a necessary way of feeding the population. In 1860 the Cobden Chevalier Treaty between the UK and France continued this period of liberal trade policies, and trade between the UK and France flourished. Generally speaking between the 1830s and 1870s trade flourished within Europe, with the UK securing its dominant position of economic hegemon during this period. This was not to last, in the 1860s, due to innovations in technology the price of grain plummeted, as markets were flooded with excess produce. What followed was a series of protectionist policies throughout Europe, with grain prices going down,
