Question

Explain why some free trade proponent’s worry that rules of origin aimed at limiting trade deflection can result in trade diversion. If this were definitely a result of using rules of origin to try to prevent deflection, what would happen to overall trade-other things being equal --as more regional trade blocs were formed? How might you use this prediction to evaluate whether the growth of regional trade blocs is helping to boost global international trade?

Answer 1

There is no free trade.  Oligopolies have discovered Mainstream America as an economic mother lode of financial wealth.  All the free market concepts have been suspended until the oligopoly drains the wealth from Mainstream America.
