Trump and Sanders misread trade in a global capital view
The piece argues the United States runs a large capital account surplus due to foreign investment. Since 2001 foreign direct investment more than doubles and last year foreigners bought $11 trillion of stocks, nearly $1.4 trillion in Treasuries, and $1.2 trillion in corporate bonds. Despite a trade deficit, the capital side is strong because of institutions, market size, and the dollar, with services exports offsetting goods. It cites World Bank rankings and balance of payments theory to claim Trump and Sanders misjudge trade as a simple goods race.
