Global Opinion on Trade “Similarly, most people in Uganda (79%), Bangladesh (78%) and Lebanon (77%) say trade increases their wages. Even people in some larger economies such as China (61%) see global trade as a way to increase wages.” Why do I consider the phrase “even people in some larger economies…” to be poor journalism? A. The size of the economy isn’t what’s relevant here B. China has a large population but is not a large economy C. China shouldn’t be used as a proxy for all large, developing economies Lecture 7: Domestic Politics of Trade Benjamin Graham

Global Opinion on Trade “The poll found that most people around the world (81%) agree when asked if growing trade and business ties with other countries is good for their nation. Even 68% of Americans support that general idea.” Is it consistent for Americans to believe that trade costs jobs but is good for their nation? A. Yes B. No Why? Lecture 7: Domestic Politics of Trade Benjamin Graham
