Nope. For too long the Republican party was controlled by free market absolutists. Folk inspired by Mises who are all for free trade, open borders, and mega-corporations.
There are more important things than economics. If doesn’t matter if America is rich if it no longer exists.
Sensible people, including many economists, make distinctions. For example, there is a difference between free trade and open borders. Also, a nation must see to national security. I think Mises understood this, although the insanity of open borders may not have been on the radar in his day.
President Trump opposed NAFTA, yet said something positive about free trade. That appears inconsistent, but I don’t think that it was. The key is to realize that NAFTA was free trade in name only.
The ideal free trade agreement might read: All tariffs and quotas between our countries are abolished. That’s it - one sentence.
NAFTA was some 1100 pages long. It should have been re-christened Not A Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
