Question

"Trade raises the economic well-being of a nation in the sense that the gains of the winners exceed the losses of the losers." This statement is correct for a nation that exports manufactured goods, but it is not correct for a nation that imports manufactured goods.a. Trueb. False

Answer 1

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Trade usually benefits all the nations involved. We can use an extreme example, Chinese-American trade. America has a huge trade deficit with China, but still the whole country benefits from it. America lost some manufacturing jobs, but they have been replaced by higher paying service related jobs (currently service related jobs account for more than 70% of the total jobs in America).

And more important, American citizens are able to buy very good and cheap products from China and other places. Imagine if we had to pay for only domestic products, we would spend a much larger portion of our income in them.
