Irwin’s essay “A Brief History of International Trade,” and answer the questions below. The maximum length of the essay is 750 words. In his article, "A Brief History of International Trade Policy," Douglas A. Irwin states, Since the time of the ancient Greek philosophers, there has been a dual view of trade: a recognition of the benefits of international exchange combined with a concern that certain domestic industries (or laborers, or culture) would be harmed by foreign competition. Depending upon the weights put on the overall gains from trade or on the losses of those harmed by imports, different analysts have arrived at different conclusions about the desirability of having free trade. Although economists have consistently stressed the overall gains from international trade, and in recent years have stressed the measurement of those gains, the debate over trade policy is a never ending one. When it comes to free trade, as Adam Smith once opined, "Not only the prejudices of the public, but what is much more unconquerable, the private interests of many individuals, irresistibly oppose it." Douglas A. Irwin, "A Brief History of International Trade Policy." November 26, 2001. Library of Economics and Liberty. (http://www.econlib.org:80/library/Columns/Irwintrade.html) Questions: What do you think about free trade? Do the overall gains from trade outweigh the losses suffered by certain domestic industries? Use some examples from your country or another country in Asia to illustrate your argument. 查詢 電話：86-21-63077018 / 63079018 傳真：86-21-63078968 電郵：aipe_mainland@hku.hk 網頁：http://www.sef.hku.hk / http://www.tfasinternational.org/aipe/ 3
