IBUS 321 Forum Q and A
IBUS 321 Forum Q and A
PART 1
I believe this is not unfair. Actually if the low-wage country can produce certain
products more efficiently and at a lower cost, and these products are scarce in
the unionized developed nation, trade is good for both countries.
I believe this argument is in the best interest of the union and the people they
represent but not necessarily the case for the countries as a whole.
5. What are the potential costs of adopting a free trade regime? Do you
think governments should do anything to reduce these costs? What?
The potential costs of adopting a free trade regime are mostly due to
unemployment it will cause in some industries. The government cant really do
much to help avoid this but training programs could be created to help people be
more competitive on the job.
Free trade should be in the interest of these countries too. Trade can accelerate
these countries growth with the help from more developed countries. (In terms of
training and monetary support).
