Suppose that france is currently producing 1 bottle of wine and 6 pounds of schnitzel and germany is currently producing 3 bottles of wine and 6 pounds of schnitzel. then, assume instead that france and germany specialize by producing only the good for which they have a comparative advantage and then trade 3 bottles of wine for 8 pounds of schnitzel. after specialization and trade, france gains by consuming the same amount of wine and nothing additional pound(s) of schnitzel (enter a numeric response using an integer)

Arguments made against free trade include all of the following exceptdumping is an unfair trade practice that puts domestic producers of substitute goods at a disadvantage that they should be protected against. national defense considerations justify producing certain goods domestically whether the country has a comparative advantage in their production or not. free trade is inflationary and should be restricted in the domestic interest. if foreign governments subsidize their exports, foreign firms that export are given an unfair advantage that domestic producers should be protected against. infant industries should be protected from free trade so that they may have time to develop and compete on an even basis with older, more established foreign industries.
