Should America encourage free trade with its trading partners or seek a more protectionist approach? Take a stand on this issue. You should give a sound economic argument for each side, then pick a side. It is not enough to argue BOTH sides of the issue. Support your opinion with good economic reasoning. Who benefits from your approach and who loses? Why? Include impacts on both American citizens and the citizens of the other countries with whom we (U.S.) trade. If your home country is outside the U.S. indicate the possible impact of your stand (favoring either free trade or trade protectionism) on your country. You will need to cite two articles, one that is pro-protectionism and one that looks at the costs of saving jobs by using trade barriers, even if you do not use the articles in your discussion.
