Free trade is when a country specializes in one or two areas of goods or service and allows a trade with other country or countries that specializes in different area while protectionism is when a country decides to restrict to its domestic production and stop trading with other countries.
Protectionism
the answer is banana
Free trade removes barriers to supply and demand economics. It also allows for minimal regulatory oversight diminishing innovation and enterprise. Protectionist regimes can serve the functions of attempting to shield fledgling industries and create domestic market advantages. Protectionism instruments include import duties and tariffs, and forcing foreign firms into price controls, reinvestment, and co-production.
Protectionism is a great idea if you are a politician and you want votes now. Protectionism means that an industry is being paid by the government to keep making a profit on goods that are being made at too high a price. In other words the business can't compete. So rather then forcing the business to close down naturally importers are charged for importing goods, this pushes up the price of the goods the extra money that is taken in by the government is then given to the inefficient local manufacturer so that he can make a product at a loss and still make money. Protectionism is bad because it protects inefficient businesses. So it is important that the U.S. practice free trade only with countries that also practice free trade.
There is no difference.
