How? If you believe autarky is fine for the UK, why should other countries not adopt a similar system and do the same.

You can only buy domestic produce if your country produces it. And you can only buy a domestic service if your country provides it. Not all countries can make or provide everything.

We'd still have to import bananas. But we should buy our own apples. And, say, Jamaica would still have to import apples. But Jamaicans should buy their own bananas.
