Please explain where/how he’s wrong?

For the last ten years or so PCR has been touting this crazy theory that commodities don't obey the law of comparative advantage. This he uses as a basis for arguing that we should end free trade. The guy is just nuts. Free trade is our only hope. And the division of labor has no natural borders.

True enough, greed knows no bounds .... So how you like the new Democrat House - Senate and Presidency?

This makes no sense, borders are man made things to PROTECT the population, nothing natural about them.

Free trade is simply not working. Fair trade might, but it has not been tried. The current system of "free trade" is merely a world of parasites sucking the blood out of the Golden Goose....and we are that goose.

Free trade better become Fair trade pretty soon, or the veins will be dry.

Evidently you suffer from reading incomprehension.

What PCR has been writing about is international labor arbitrage being passed off as free trade. It only appears nuts if you can’t read.
