        even if protectionism is limited? Can you help those of us not trained in economics to understand why that is?

        Resources deployed inefficiently on protected good/services when they should be more efficiently used elsewhere

        .@FentDahl @BernardKeane Thanks. Sounds like a little protection might breach the rule, but have other social benefits not accounted for.

        Can't fully explain in 140 chrs. My thoughts: we're terrible at distributing bnfts, espec to those disrupted by industry shifts.

        Free Trade is not fair trade when workers in the 1st world are forced to compete with people on slave wages in other countries

        whereas protecting the first world worker's lifestyle by barring others from competing on wages is fair. Got it.

        I'm not sure the children of Chinese peasants would call the past few decades "stagnation".
