This video clip, “The Great Prosperity Machine,” illustrates the concept that free trade is like “a machine that allows for more efficient use of resources.” With trade, countries end up consuming more output than by being self-sufficient. Free trade creates mutual benefits. Moreover, “turning cheap goods into expensive goods” helps countries consume the goods that they really want. This video highlights protectionism through various forms of barriers to trade.
