Do the economic benefits of free trade outweigh the social costs? Explain your answer.

Write a paragraph that is at least four sentences long and includes your personal reflections on the role of government. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you prepare and compose your answer:
• How does free trade benefit consumers? What effect does it have on prices, for example? How might it lead to better, more innovative goods and services?
• How does free trade benefit businesses? For example, how does it encourage investment?
• What negative effects might free trade have on small, local businesses?
• How does free trade encourage the mistreatment of workers and the environment?

From the big companies and industrial side, free trade has been a success. Free trade has allowed thousands of companies to export their goods with cero import tariffs, benefiting the income. It has allowed multinational companies to go abroad and establishing branches in different parts of the world, basically in underdeveloped nations.

Once there, they paid very low salaries, much less than what they should have paid in their former countries, That is a reason why they moved to underdeveloped countries. So cheap labor is one reason. And other these multinational companies freely exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of that underdeveloped country.

Meanwhile, free trade makes rich people and corporations richer, and poor countries and poor people continue to be as poor as they have always been. No serious progress at all,
