[ExI] Free Trade

[John Clark]

*How do people around here feel about free trade? When I first joined this
list in 1993 nearly every member was a passionate advocate of free trade
including me, but I get the impression that is no longer the case;
certainly He Who Must Not Be Named is about as far from being a free trade
advocate as it's possible to be. Even the AI revolution hasn't caused me to
change my opinion about free trade but Universal Basic Income is a
different matter; back then I would've argued that the idea was completely
impractical and I would have been correct, but even then I knew that
eventually something like it would have to be implemented, however I
figured it was so far in the future I didn't need to think very deeply
about it. But the time has come. *

*Have the amazing developments in AI during the last five years caused
anybody else to change any of their economic opinions?*
