THE BENEFITS OF FREE TRADE

"No nation was ever ruined by trade."
- Benjamin Franklin

  1. Ah, but Benjamin Franklin didn't live to see how developed nations today are "selfishly exploiting" undeveloped countries' natural resources!

    He was probably also a racist who believed that black people are inferior to whites!

    I'm a great admirer of Benjamin Franklin.

    No nation was ruined by trade, but free trade can hamper some developing economies, especially if they are discouraged from diversifying.
