The lesson of the "China shock" isn't actually about trade. It's about how hard it is for workers and communities to adapt to rapid economic changes. Now Trump is trying to reshape the global economy overnight, with potentially devastating consequences.

Economists say the U.S. manufacturing decline in recent decades was not mainly about free trade, but about the pace of change without time to adjust.

This slowly dawned on me during my PhD - it was by being at seminars or conferences where I could see the true debate behind a paper and what people thought its contribution and flaws were, not by reading the published version.
Science would be better served if everyone could see these debates

This is bad for the scientific record.
Relatedly, the only people who know the interesting debates are people who get the backstory privately from insiders.
This arrangement favors the better connected.
