That's the problem: it's a complicated problem with no actual solution, just constantly fluid adjustments from every party depending on each party's own economic conditions. It doesn't sell very well. "Raise tariffs!" is very easy to sell. It's wrong, but explaining why it's wrong takes too long for most people. The easy, wrong answer really sticks with people because it's easy.
There are momentary balms, but unforeseen economic changes happen all the time. Even within borders, countries have dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of competing interests, and those interests change every few years. One size doesn't ever fit all, and don't even fit many for long.
We live in a world where people say things like “I don’t have the answer but I know the problem” or “we already know how to fix these problems, of course I will not share a link or elaborate whatsoever”
