Wealthy is healthy. The real question is how best to bring wealth to poor countries. If we can make the rich even richer at the same time, this would be a nice bonus. That we are still discussing this issue today merely demonstrates the astonishing resourcefulness that so-called intellectuals reveal when trying to find ways to hide from the truth. The stupidity of their stance should be obvious.
Free trade is well free.
Both sides think they will benefit from the exchange. In the long run, it is almost certain that they both will be right. Free trade is really about freedom of association, the right of each individual to work with and to trade with people of his own choosing. If I choose to buy my clothes from some Chinese peasant who I never have met and almost certainly never will meet, that is my right. I have the right to do business with him instead of some first-generation immigrant in Montreal.
