the US would even think about. (The republican base wants out of the UN, the WTO, the IMF - anything that impinges on our blessed national sovereignty.)
Trade is a much larger percentage of the economies of all countries with more equitable distributions of wealth. Obviously trade is not the cause of inequitable wealth distributions.
What Finland does have is a tax system that is more progressive than ours, a safety net that is much stronger and a culture and legal system that protect and promote labor unions. So do Canada, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Japan and most of the other countries on this list. We have none of that.
No 'right-to-work' states or provinces in any of these other countries.
But forgive me. I digress from your point that trade and international agreements (and foreigners?) are the cause of our problems. Anyone who blames Americans who vote for tax cuts for the rich, slash the safety net or weaken unions, is not being sufficiently suspicious of the role that foreigners play in our problems.
The fact that Finland, Germany (take any other country off the list above) trades with 'foreigners' much, much more than we do and yet has a stronger middle class and a much more equitable distribution of wealth, means nothing to us, I suppose. Perhaps because the US is exceptional and what works in other countries does not apply to us.
