Table 3-24 Assume that England and Spain can switch between producing cheese and producing bread at a constant rate. ​ ​ -Refer to Table 3-24. Without trade, England produced and consumed 32 units of cheese and 2 units of bread and Spain produced and consumed 6 units of cheese and 2 units of bread. Then, each country agreed to specialize in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage and trade 7 units of cheese for 2.5 units of bread. As a result, England gained

The most obvious benefit of specialization and trade is that they allow us to
