I don&#x27;t know the answer to the convenience of free trade, but I think there is different kinds of international trade and we talk about all them as if they are the same thing.<p>For instance, the more successful economies Japan, Germany, China, Korea didn&#x27;t follow the same model of free trade that has been &quot;suggested&quot; to the South American countries. In fact, in the eighties everybody complained how difficult was to access to the Japanese markets.<p>The other thing is that is very different free trade of commodities vs. free movement of capitals but normally it&#x27;s sold like it&#x27;s the same. If you are in Peru is probably a bad idea get a lease denominated in U.S. dollars, no matter how good the deal looks now.
