The textile industry in Bangladesh, counted as one of the poorest countries in the world, experienced a surprisingly positive turn when the old economic system based on preferred access was replaced with a system based on free trade.
David Ricardo's comparative advantage theory proposes that nations should specialize in the production of goods and then engage in international trade. Unrestricted free trade between nations raises the economic welfare of countries that participate in free trade. Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School has further developed the idea of comparative advantage by proposing four broad attributes that help impede or promote the comparative advantage of a nation.
