The classical liberal free-trade argument about the universal economic benefits of greater commerce and open markets proved to be unambiguously correct. It did not matter that the catch-up countries’ economic “miracles” were produced in part by illiberal policies guided by government bureaucracies.
关于更大规模的商业和开放的市场所带来的普遍经济收益的经典开明的自由贸易理论被证明是无往而不胜的。后发展的国家的“经济奇迹”是否在一定程度上得益于政府官僚机构引导下的非自由政策其实并不重要。其结果都是对经济自由主义的认可。
