Free Trade

Does free trade always benefit everyone, or are there winners and losers? Is protectionism really such a bad thing? Here are a few links on free trade.

In response to a NYT column by Harvard Economics Professor Greg Mankiw, some thoughts by KPC's Angus, and a follow up by Mungowitz. Tyler Cowen linked to the original post, and thus some of the discussion takes place in the comments here.

Mark Thoma worries about trade creating inequality, even if it does make society wealthier on average.

Craig Newmark discusses teaching students about free trade.

On these, in particular, pretty much every link contains additional links well worth looking into. Does that make these meta-links?
