I’m afraid you don’t understand. 1) yes prices will increase if policies of the seller survive, and the seller doesn’t acquiesce. 2) if you are importing goods that are cheaper because of labor arbitrage, then people with money are obtaining cheaper construction at the expense of people without the money to consume (which is our current position).

Cheers
