> Why are a large amount of people treaing access to other nations markets as a human right?
Why would you want to restrict (economic) interaction between two parties just because they’re far away from each other?
I’m sure some of the local companies in my area would love to prevent me from buying goods elsewhere, but why would I want to buy goods elsewhere unless they are either cheaper and/or of better quality?
In my opinion, your quote misrepresents the situation. It’s not about “giving someone access to a market”, it’s about not restricting trade between two parties because it’s assumed those two parties are intelligent human beings who choose to trade with each other for a reason, and restricting this activity only helps inferior companies who are unable to market their own goods.
