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 said, “In the long run we are all dead”; this encapsulates the essence of Keynesian economics – focus on “short-run economic fluctuations” and the belief that it is aggregate demand that needs to be stimulated for economic growth. Keynesians believe that unemployment exists because of “an insufficient demand for goods and services”, and thus the solution to it is to prime aggregate demand (“Keynesian economics”). The recommended stimulus is government intervention, which, Keynesians believe, can “directly influence” aggregate demand by manipulating economic policies (Keynesian economics). Keynes’ suggested that the economy can exist in one of 3 ranges – horizontal, intermediate and vertical, determined by the aggregate su...
While free trade has certainly changed with advances in technology and the ability to create external economies, the concept seems to be the most benign way for countries to trade with one another. Factoring in that imperfect competition and increasing returns challenge the concept of comparative advantage in modern international trade markets, the resulting introduction of government policies to regulate trade seems to result in increased tensions between countries as individual nations seek to gain advantages at the cost of others. While classical trade optimism may be somewhat naïve, the alternatives are risky and potentially harmful.

Keynesian Economics was developed and founding by John Maynard Keynes. He believed and wrote in his book “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money” that it is essential for the Government to play a vital role in economic stability. Keynesian theorist believe Government spending, tax hikes or tax breaks are vital in economic success. Keynesian assumptions include: Rigid or Inflexible Prices, Effective Demand, and Savings-Investment Determinants. Rigid or Inflexible Prices suggest that wages increases are easier to take while wage decreases hits resistance; likewise, a producer will increase prices yet when needed will be reluctant to decrease prices.

Keynesian economics is an economic theory based on the ideas of an English economist, John Maynard Keynes, outlined in his book: The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, in response to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Keynesian economics promotes a mixed economy, where both the state and the private sector play an important role. The rise of Keynesianism promoted the intervention of the government even in capitalist economy. Keynesian economics served as the standard economic model in the developed nations during the later part of the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war economic expansion (1945–1973). It lost some influence following the oil crisis and stagflation of the 1970s. The advent of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 has caused many to revisit Keynesian thinking.

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.

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
