Desperately Searching For A New Strategy, por Tim Duy:
The dry statistics on trade aren’t working to counter Trump. They make for good policy at one level and terrible policy (and politics) at another. The aggregate gains are irrelevant to someone suffering a personal loss. Critics need to find an effective response to Trump. I don’t think we have it yet. And here is the hardest part: My sense is that Democrats will respond by offering a bigger safety net. But people don’t want a welfare check. They want a job. And this is what Trump, wrongly or rightly, offers.[Via Economist's View]
A título ilustrativo da posição pró-comércio livre e pró-redistribuição, temos, por exemplo, este artigo do Luís Aguiar-Conraria, Contra um mundo infestado de Trumps.
Pode ser que eu ainda escreva alguma coisa sobre isto, mas provavelmente não (já que não tenho muita certeza que esses problemas tenham realmente solução...).
