This is nothing but pure naivety. You cannot expect to have free trade without agreements. what you're talking about is what people like to call 'fair' trade, not free trade. you want 'fair' trade. and fair trade is protectionism. Even with agreements we have countries that either find loopholes in the agreements or simply ignore them. there are no loopholes in free trade. simply, if you don't like the trade and don't want to do it, you just don't do the trade. To do as you say would simply strip us bare while other countries prevent our products from being exported excpet perhaps products we can only supply. how can free trade 'strip us bare'? other countries can refuse to trade with us if they wish, but they can't prevent us from trading with any other country. any country that refused to trade with us would be hurting themselves, and it wouldn't take them very long to see that fact. You will not have free trade. you won't have free trade if you continue to think that you need agreements in order to trade..
