➤ Why would both countries gain from trade if one is absolutely better at everything?
Both countries gain when each specializes in the good with lower opportunity cost and trades at a price between their opportunity costs. In the example, A specializes in cloth and B in wheat. If they trade at, say, 1 cloth for 2.5 wheat, both obtain the other good cheaper than producing it, increasing consumption possibilities.
