Of subsidies, quotas, and tariffs

Jacob Sullum (Reason): Subsidies, quotas, and tariffs steal from the poor and give to the rich. ... Anyone who considers the ways in which the rich and powerful use government to get what they want will understand that fighting for the poor and downtrodden requires defending the free market. Consider the subsidies and trade barriers that benefit affluent Americans and Europeans at the expense of producers in developing countries who are struggling to eke out a living. Advocates of free markets in the Western world must promote freedom for everyone; anything less, such as the EU's scandalous agricultural policy, is a protectionist recipe for injustice and pauperization.
