GO FREE TRADE!

1. Free trade represents individual sovereignty.

•   every person should have the right to freely trade as they wish.

2. It would restrain the power of the state.

• It gives more power to the people and it would take some power away from the government   and how they control things.

3.Free trade also encourages other basic human rights like freedom of speech and religion.

• by people being able to use free trade it will give them the power and the motivation to use their other rights given to them more often.

4. it helps the poor

• it helps the poor because with the market more widely spread it takes some of the power away from the elites disabling them from being able to pillage over the poor.
• it also gives greater opportunity for the poor to be able to create wealth.

5. It encourages the people to cultivate moral values and become in tune with other cultures

• with free trade we will be able to trade with countries that we may have never traded with before, and learn about their cultures in the process
• also, it would create moral values because with free trade all of the business would be between the business men and if the trades aren't fair, its not going to happen and they can find someone else

6. it creates comparative advantage

• countries will be able to specialize in what they are best at

• countries being able to specialize in what they are good at is a good thing  because now-a-days countries try to make everything so that they can have more home manufactured stuff and so that it can be cheaper, but since we are not specializing in it, making the stuff were not necessarily in the best shape to make is just costing more money
