TOPIC-B: "Trade Liberalization versus Trade Barriers, Which Way? Discuss."

[Some Hints: You need to discuss the benefits (gains) and costs of 'trade liberalization (trade openness)' and 'trade barriers (trade autarky)'.

Which is better and why/how?

Support your discussion by drawing on the experience (example) of 'a country of your choice' or on the experience (example) of 'a group of countries in general'].
