2 个月It's important to balance protectionist responses to economic security with the benefits of a globalized interconnected economy. Even from a security standpoint, economic ties offer avenues for soft power, and deterrents to hostility. Overly protectionist policies risk weakening critical ties with allies, and atrophying economic arteries that could otherwise be used to apply deterrent or coercive pressure.

2 个月Global trade cannot be complete in an era of scarcity, regional threats and nation states, protectionism is warranted. Ideally every nation needs to be able to supply its own food, water and core industry to a large degree or its subject to foreign trade intervention and/or regional breakdowns where they import from. For the U.S, the rare nation that can and has produced the vast majority of its domestic goods in the past, the lure of compromise on security for foreign trade is a benefit for private interests that comes at the cost of the general public. As such, the government should regulate it extensively, its gotten entirely out of hand, the pandemic was a lesson in this Trade should only be conducted for mutual benefit of peoples, not individuals. You don't want to pay high labor costs to make life saving medicine? Okay build your factory in another country but the price of said medicine shouldn't be exorbitant. What is the real trade? The trade is cost per unit vs domestic security and circulation. If the unit cost doesn't come down, its not in the public benefit, its a net risk for the public. This was the lie of global markets, the bigger pie, the lower cost, specialization, it cannot endure.
