It's funny how every thread on here attracts uninformed commentary about whether economics is a science or not.
Anyway, trade isn't a field I've looked at in quite a while, tbh. Glancing at the many articles posted here by realisticidealist this all seems to pertain to a) short-term and b) local negative effects. None of that is new and I don't think any of it changes the broad consensus that free trade is good. Especially, of course, if one takes a global perspective.
It's unclear why competition right now would be different than that of the past which did not create permanent disasters in society.
