Bad Samaritans

I had a vague understanding that “Free Trade” is actually worse for the working class than we've been lead to believe. Developing nations have more success in growing their economies by installing protectorate tariffs, then slowly opening their markets over time. That's how every powerful nation became powerful. But now the powerful nations are using their power to pressure weaker nations to eliminate any protectorate tariffs, causing more long-term harm to the people of that country. This is how neoliberals, the IMF, & the World Bank are actually neocolonialists: trying to drain the wealth from developing nations to further enrich wealthier ones.
