Le commerce classique repose également sur une notion plus subtile - l'avantage comparatif - qui découle du fait que les pays se spécialisent dans ce qu'ils font le mieux. Même si un pays peut tout produire à un coût moindre que dans d'autres pays, une richesse globale plus grande sera créée si ce pays se spécialise dans les domaines où il excelle et fait du commerce pour obtenir le reste. 3, record 1, French, - avantage%20comparatif
