"Prosperity comes not just from economic freedom at home..."

"Prosperity comes not just from economic freedom at home, but also from the freedom to trade abroad.  If free trade were not beneficial, it would make sense for us to "protect jobs" by buying only those goods produced entirely in our own towns.  Or we could purchase only those goods produced on the streets where we live.  Better still, we could restrict our purchases to things we produced in our own households, buying all our products only from our own immediate family members.  When the logic of trade restriction is taken to its natural conclusion, its impoverishing effects become too obvious to miss." -Pages 94 & 95 of The Revolution, A ManifestoF
