The Economist and Paul Samuelson question Free Trade

I was under the impression -- and I'm sure Spanky will correct me whether or not I'm wrong -- that he believes (a) free trade is beneficial for the country, on the whole; and (b) free trade helps more people than it hurts; and (c) supports free trade because of (a). Of course, (b) is nice too. But the question I was raising with the post you just responded to is whether Spanky would support free trade if (a) were true but (b) were not true.
eta: In #1428, two posts above, Spanky suggests that his support is based on (a).
