Yes, when a nation is industrializing, its's infant industries need protection. However, after they have been established, free trade benefits everyone.

yeah, it sure has benefited those industrial workers who went from making $25/hour+benefits to making $7.25/hour part-time with no benefits at McDonald's amirite
