弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资
V. Gentlemen protectionists, you find me in a paradoxical humour; and I am disposed to go further still. I say, and I sincerely think, that if two countries are placed under unequal conditions of production, _it is that one of the two which is least favoured by nature which has most to gain by free trade_. To prove this, I must depart a little from the usual form of such a work as this. I shall do so nevertheless, first of all, because the entire question lies there, and also because it will afford me an opportunity of explaining an economic law of the highest importance, and which, if rightly understood, appears to me to be fitted to bring back to the science all those sects who, in our day, seek in the land of chimeras that social harmony which they fail to discover in nature. I refer to the law of consumption, which it is perhaps to be regretted that the majority of economists have neglected.

白话
巴斯夏提出一个看似反直觉的观点:如果两个国家生产条件不平等,那么自然条件较差的那一国反而从自由贸易中获益更多。为了证明这一点,他暂时偏离本书常规写法,因为整个问题的关键就在这里,也借此解释一条极重要的经济规律——消费规律。他认为多数经济学家忽视了这条规律,而正确理解它,或许能把那些在幻想中寻找社会和谐的人拉回科学。核心是:落后一方通过交换能获得更大改善。做法是:不要因自身条件差就拒绝开放,反而应利用交换弥补短板。

今日一问
如果你所在的团队或地区条件较差,是否更应主动借助外部交换来弥补?
