It's the same thing I have been saying all along. The "free trade" theory is just that; a theory that has never been tried or proven.
It is being tried and we are the guinea pigs.
It reminds me a Polish joke from the Communist times:
A Commie propagandist gives a compulsory talk to the peasants about Marxist theory.
One peasant asks, "and who invented this theory, the workers or the scientists?"
The Commie, thinks for a while to decide which answer will be more edifying and says, "why? Of course workers invented it".
And peasant says - "It must be true, the scientists would test this theory on the mice before trying it on the people".
