Your article is irrelevant. It discusses the effects of free trade on maximizing production. It does not have theory, much less data, to show that workers aren't worse of from free trade. There is research showing that blue collar US workers who are displaced due to free trade suffer short term, as well as permanent, wage loss.
Question: Are you in favor of a permanent tax on consumption and investment income to compensate US workers for losses of wages? Full compensation for permanent wage loss may be substantial.
