Really, Desparate Dan. REALLY. "Prices fall"... because production moves to the lowest cost location. Which means jobs go to the lowest cost location. That's already why your phone is made in China, not Southampton. People without jobs in the UK aren't lifted out of poverty.

how do you deal with the countries that impose their own barriers on us for example.. or steal our technology? do we just let them put tariffs on things and leave it be?

They’re only shooting themselves in the foot by hurting their people. And it doesn’t follow that we then slap our own tariffs and increase prices on our own consumers. Overall, countries with freer trade have both higher per-capita incomes and faster rates of economic growth.
