Free trade in actuality is a utopian ideal The advances from when life was really nasty, brutish, and short are due to the expansion of trade; the improved utilization of more hands and minds; the workings of a discovery process over long spans of time. nor will we ever have free trade You may be right. Economic realities are largely counter-intuitive. It is likely that where politics are allowed to control and interfere with trade, the screwees won't have any idea what was done to them. So you and I disagree on fair trade Fair gots nothin' to do with it. It just IS. Over time though, it damn well works, as long as consumers are in control. defending the interests of the common good or the interests of poor and disadvantaged people The poor and disadvantaged, same as centuries past, are served by improvements in their material condition. von Mises quoted predecessors who thought they saw the finger of God in the workings of a free market. While the theology is beyond me, I understand the sentiment expressed. Experience indicates there is one way to improve the condition of the poor, and it ain't statist. And it won't happen by 6:00 PM Friday.
