infant industry argument

Explanation:

The infant industry argument is basically a political argument for trade protectionism. I have several friends from Argentina that complain that the price of cars there are extremely high because the government has used this same argument for more than 100 years now. If after more than 100 year of manufacturing cars, a country's industry is still infant, then the world has no sense.

The main argument of the infant industry theory is that new industries haven't achieved economies of scale yet, but the question is: Will they ever achieve economies of scale? Probably not. Even if only cars from Botswana are sold there, how many cars can its citizens buy? It will never be able to export any car, so the government is actually punishing its citizens by forcing them to buy terrible cars that are probably priced like a BMW.
