protectionism

Domestic Content clauses block Free Trade
a strategem that's rotten to the root
the dumbest policies we've ever made
since FDR abandoned Hawley-Smoot
Comparative Advantage benefits
all partners whose endowments are used best
by mastering whatever's in their kits
and bartering abroad for all the rest
but Trade and Labor must go hand in hand
if you'd improve the lives of workers here
abusive practices in foreign lands
degrade conditions for us everywhere
no man's an island, swarthy-skinned or pink
so all the world's economies are linked
