A thought provoking article. However this old economics prof has some questions. Engaging in global markets is inevitable as domestic markets cannot provide all the goods and services wanted or needed by society. Global markets also increase the demand for domestically produced products. Look back at the Great Depression when the Smoot-Hawley tariffs virtually closed foreign markets to domestic producers. Due to the economic downturn domestic markets in the 1930s did not supply enough demand for full production, but some foreign markets could have. While we often lament that cheap foreign imports hurt US jobs, these imports allow us to enjoy a better standard of living.
