Furthermore, you could put down the success of America to free trade – free trade between the 50 states. Each US state has a significant amount of independence from the federal government, and as a result each state has had free trade with its 49 neighbors for a long time.

I don’t think New Zealand will function well with isolationist policies. After all, if we close our borders I won’t be able to buy an Xbox 360 when Fable II comes out, and that would significantly effect my welfare 😉

The US went through a long period of isolationism, which it has recently returned to, and look how successful it has been. A lesson in that perhaps?!

So in a sense I think we should only make products that we are internationally competitive in, preferably value-added products with a high world price 😉
