No, research comparative advantage. We actually had it pretty great in the US.

Also a world trading with each other is a world disincentivized from war with each other.

I have, and that depends on whether you are concerned at all with where we externalize our costs to. We had it good while messing up a lot of other places.

Maybe that's fine, maybe its not, but its not as simple as trade makes everyone better off.
