I can't for the life of me think of a single good thing to say about a race to the bottom. Someone else should try to dig up a few balancing statements here, like saying that global trade was never rules-based to begin with, or that the elites in each country benefit from complex regulations and from protectionism. |

But are those arguments in favor of a race to the bottom, or in favor of a WTO? Another way to see it is that protectionism is just another race to the bottom. |
