dear, an open competitive market is one without tariffs to protect and cripple our industries, without trade wars and depression, and without real wars like WW2 more likely.
Edward Baiamonte, the international trade policy as described by Wikipedia’s “Import certificate” article, is not “pure” free trade but it certainly is competitive trade.
How would USA adopting the Import Certificate policy protect AND cripple a USA industry? Which industry? How would Import Certificates cause a depression?
You haven’t been able to logically explain your foolish notions that depressions are caused by tariffs or that they were responsible for World War Two; how did they do that?
You cannot seem to logically explain the “hows and whys” of anything you post.
