Paul Krugman actually changed his tune about this… moreover, you can find critiques of free trade being bad for workers everywhere if you look. And these critiques aren’t new: https://m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/sanders-why-i-oppose-nafta...

Well, the problem isn't free trade. It's that some countries work more than they need to. If every country had balanced trade there wouldn't be many arguments against it.
