Q1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of free trade?
A1) Advantages-
The thought that everyone benefits when countries convert and offer unashamedly what they do by and large capably. At the end of the day, everyone ought to invest noteworthy time in what they have practical experience in and governments ought to assume just a negligible part in this methodology.
Protectionism is excessive:
Fundamentally, duty and non tax obstructions (Ntbs) realize higher costs for purchasers. Obstacle liabilities are passed on to clients, of course clients are urged to buy more exorbitant neighborhood generated products.
Competition: The possibility that adversary grows lesser value, benefit in handling, and progression.
Functionalism: The discord that interest in one reach, (for instance, trade) pushes coordinated effort in distinctive extents. In principle, the pills issue, movement issues, et cetera are all tended to fortnightly
Interdependence: The possibility that unhindered commerce trade prompts interconnections that make clash too much over the top.
Disadvantages-
Dangers to neighborhood industries/jobs: Most standard economists need to discharge these dangers in light of the way that they say organized commerce in like manner makes business and improvement. Regardless laborer's gatherings moreover private organizations use this dispute to push protectionism.
Security is risked: Protectionists off and on again battle a country that ought not to be reliant to the point that it can't shield itself.
Newborn Industries: Poorer countries have fought that they needed to ensure "baby organizations" so they can get them off the ground r...

Keynes was a British economist who developed what is known as ‘Keynesian economics’ today. The focus of his work was the “causes of prolonged unemployment” after Alfred Marshall (an economist) urged him to channel his interest towards politics and economics instead of philosophy (“John Maynard Keynes”). He obtained a BA and an MA from King’s College, Cambridge, where his father John Neville Keynes (also an economist) was an administrator and where his mother had graduated from. He started work as a civil servant; briefly shifted to teaching economics; and then reverted back to being a government employee. He served as an economic adviser to British Prime Minister Lloyd George at the Paris Peace Conference, but was greatly disappointed by the final treaty. The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money published in 1935/36 is his most famous literary work and contained Keynesian analysis of economic recession and the solution to unemployment.

...dor, Robert Solow and Paul Davidson. New Keynesian economics is a school of contemporary macroeconomics that strives to provide microeconomic foundations for Keynesian economics. It has developed partly as a response to criticisms of Keynesian macroeconomics. One of the new Keynesian economists, Robert Solow, advocated many Keynesian interventionist policies as senior economist to the Council of Economic Advisers during the Kennedy administration, which became conventional wisdom. In his words “My view is that we know no better way of running an economy than market capitalism”, however “there are times when there will be prolonged unemployment and governments ought to try to fix that.” This is abundant proof that the basic Keynesian approach is still relevant today as in a recession or depression; use of public spending to boost spending and employment is effective.
• Adversaries of unhindered trade battle that the financial profits of exchange are surpassed by the secured overheads. Case in point, energized trade has a tendency to broadcast the trim of clearing business tries, for instance, multinational acquaintanceships that aggregate benefit at the danger of close-by, extra lower winds.
Free Trade is the ability to trade goods and services without barriers, and for prices to rise naturally through supply and demand. In theory, Free Trade was a way to break down the barriers between countries, banishing taxes and allowing prices to be naturally set through supply and demand. According to the World Trade Organization, this gives the poor countries the opportunity to specialize in the production of goods that derive from their environment and natural resources with the capacity to sell those same goods to the western world, while being able to buy back goods that may not produced in their native country. This idea is to be beneficial to all; however, the rich become richer while the poor remain poor.
The theory illuminated that full employment can only be maintained with the help of government spending. Keynes was a supporter of the free market, however, and believed that the once the employment rate was an acceptable rate, the market should be run freely. In Keynes’ General Theory, he notes that “prices, and especially wages, respond slowly to changes in supply and demand,” (Sarwat Jahan, Ahmed Saber Mahmud, and Chris Papergeorgiou). Keynes’ theories and viewpoints help shift the economy as we know today. Keynes pushed that governments should control the business cycle (Buisness, 2011).
Keynesian economists, similar to Classical economists, also believe that the economy is made up of consumer spending, government spending, and business investments. However, the Keynesian Theory says government spending can improve economic growth in the absence of consumer spending and business investment (Differences). According to the Keynesian theory, wages and prices are not flexible. A static price will give a horizontal aggregate supply curve in the short run (Classical and Keynesian Economics).

As cost of transportation and communication becomes reduced, corporations are no-longer constricted by borders. Innovation of technology has created a worldwide web making distance and geography no longer relevant for economic purposes. In today’s world, when conditions are right, it is just as easy to do business with someone across the globe as it is with someone across your street. Globalization has opened the doors to economic freedom, and economic freedom became the trigger for international free trade and overall economic expansion. It allows for personal choices and prosperity. On a day to day basis, consumers are no longer limited to local products, they have the choice to choose from a myriad of brands and selections imported from all over the world. Change of seasons no longer means change of fruits and vegetables on grocery racks, in fact, unless you are shopping in a farmer’s market, it is nearly impossible to find locally-grown fruits or vegetables in most modern developed countries. Now livestock, perishable goods, live lobsters, and even ice-cream are sent across borders and imported by countries such as Canada. On a global scale, economic freedom is even more apparent. In the 21st century, companies are competing on an international scale and therefore, the bars are raised and capitalism has ascended to being a world-wide economic system.
The Keynesian theory of unemployment emphasizes the argument that if monetary and fiscal policy does not keep demand at a high enough level, then the economy is less likely to be able to sustain a high rate of employment. A growing economy creates jobs for people entering the labour market for the first time. And, it provides employment opportunities for people unemployed and looking for work. However, not every increase in aggregate demand and production has to be met by employing more labour. Businesses may decide to increase production by making greater use of capital inputs such as extra units of
