a) Wasserman Schultz wants you to evaluate Altman's assertion that "though two countries that trade with each other [achieve] gains from trade, their people won't necessarily share those gains equally." Under what assumptions is this claim true? Under what assumptions is it false? Please explain your answer in a short paragraph of and explicitly refer to the theoretical frameworks you have learned in this unit using one or more diagrams. (6 Marks)

b)Wasserman would also like you to explain why Altman believes that "a country that opens its markets is always richer as whole". That is, what does Altman mean by the phrase "each new transaction creates its own gains from trade." Please explain your answer in a short paragraph and explicitly refer to one of the theoretical frameworks you have learned in this unit using one or more diagrams. (6 Marks)
