But the reality is that, if two sides willingly trade, it can be assumed that both are better off; otherwise, one of them would refuse to trade. So, while trade liberalization may entail some (smaller) losses for certain groups, these can – and should – be addressed through domestic relocation and assistance schemes, such as America’s Trade Adjustment Assistance program, and transition rules for affected industries, firms, and workers.
但现实是，如果双方自愿贸易，那么可以认为双方都受益了，否则，其中一方将拒绝贸易。因此，尽管贸易自由化可能给某些集团带来一些（较小的）损失，但这些损失可以——也应该——通过国内再分配和援助机制（比如美国的贸易调整补助计划）和针对受影响行业、企业和工人的过渡规则解决。
