This is an assessed week.
Question 1. Given the debate between free trade and managed trade, do you think governments should intervene in trade or leave the market to work freely? Explain your reasoning.

Please post your answers to these initial questions first and then comment / reply to other posts.
Some general points:
– try to connect your observations / comments to theory – i.e. ask yourself if your observations / experiences support the theory/ or contradict it.
– feel free to ask questions / clarification
– try not to post messages that are too long – brevity and clarity where possible.
try to connect your posts to theory – trade theory and FDI theory as appropriate.
How do these theories help us explain the cases and situations that you are describing?
