It Took More than Trade to Screw the Country’s Workers But trade is not the whole story of the upward redistribution of the last decade. We also made government-granted patent and copyright monopolies longer and stronger.

And we also ensured that highly paid professionals, like doctors and dentists, are protected from the same competition that their less educated counterparts face.
