Chapter 9 Reflection

What was your opinion about restrictions on international trade before reading this chapter? Have you changed your mind? Strenghtened your opinion? In what ways and why? What was the most interesting part of the chapter to you? Why? 

Before reading this chapter, my opinion about restrictions on internation trade was that it should be fairly easy to do so, but a little expensive too. After reading the chapter, I haven't changed my mind. Being able to trade internationally is important and benefitial, but if international companies want to make money from the U.S., I feel they should pay a fee.

I didn't really see any negatives in international trade before reading the chapter. It's interesting now knowing that there are negatives. When exporting goods, the nation's consumers are worse off and when importing a good, the nation's producers are worse off.
