The best way to look at this question is to start at the beginning: with the Individual person.\n\nAfter all, it is individuals that trade with one another, not countries.\n\nTake two people (Bob & Jim)\n\nBob has 2 apples and Jim has 2 oranges.\n\nBob would like one of Jim's oranges, so he offers to trade one of his apples.\n\nJim agrees and the two make the trade (1 apple for 1 orange).\n\nWhat's the economic impact?\n\nAfter the trade, you have two satisified individuals. Each now has the things that they value most. Bob valued Jim's orange more than his extra apple, and vice versa with Jim.\n\nIt's a win-win situation.\n\nThat is the economic impact of EVERY trade that occurs in the marketplace (UNLESS there is outside interference with the exchange).\n\nNow, imagine that Bob lived in Italy and Jim in Canada...\n\nIt wouldn't make a difference. \n\nThe principles are the same.

As long as there are conflicting interest between individual impulses and the overall needs of the community, there will be laws. Laws set boundaries so that people can interact positively, causing minimum damage to each other. Whether it's following traffic laws (e.g. who gets to go first, where each car can drive in what direction, etc. to avoid accidents) to international trade (how much different currencies are worth, how much has to be paid for items, etc.), it is all about creating a benefit for the overall community so that we all can have better lives.
