Poorer countries benefit economically from cutting off all trade with rich nations
The available literature strongly refutes the idea that cutting off trade benefits poorer countries, indicating instead that trade restrictions and isolationism lead to severe economic downturns, whereas international integration supports development.
The claim suggests that poorer countries benefit economically from complete trade isolation from rich nations. Multiple papers (e.g., [0], [1], [8], [9], [10]) discuss the economic damage caused by trade restrictions, border closures, and isolationism, while highlighting the necessity of international trade and cooperation for developing economies. None of the papers support the claim that total economic autarky or cutting off trade is beneficial.
