1. Why international trade?
1.1 Why international trade?
- Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith (1776)
- Smith applied the doctrine of laissez-faire to international trade. All nations would benefit from unregulated, free
trade that would allow individual countries to specialize in goods they were best suited to produce because of
natural and acquired advantages
- Smith’s theory of trade has come to be known as the theory of absolute advantage
1.2 David Ricardo
- On the principles of political economy and taxation, David Ricardo (1817)
- The principle of comparative advantage postulates that all nations can gain from trade if each specializes in
producing what they are relatively more efficient at producing and import the rest
- “do what you do best, import the rest”
1.3 Last few centuries
- Greater openness and liberalized trade
- However
- Protectionism has always immersed
- Can you think of a recent example?
- Advanced nations are realizing that economic growth and stability depend on a strategic mix of trade policies
o both free trade and protectionism (see Ch 02 on globalization)
