FEB 1. International trade is zero-sum, has negative effects. The notion is expressed in many forms in everyday conversations and in political discourse, and it was also a recurrent theme in early political economy (Hiscox 2006). This belief may take many forms. For instance, trade is said to create unemployment at home because foreigners instead of locals are making the things we need (Wood 2002, pp. 53–55). Also, it is claimed that a nation should always try to export more goods than it imports (Worstall 2014, pp. 29–32). This belief is often associated with the assumption that the wealth of nations is the outcome of a zero-sum game. As a consequence, the assumption that foreigners profit from trade entails that “we” are losing out. Consistent with this assumption, many people believe (against possible comparative advantage) that trade cannot be beneficial if “we” import goods that we could manufacture ourselves (Baron & Kemp 2004, p. 567).

Not everyone won. Some were unfortunate enough to be around when Pinkie set that thing off.
