Specializing in one's comparative advantage and trading with others will make individuals better off but may not make countries better off.

False

True

Answer:

False

The principle of comparative advantage suggests that when individuals or countries specialize in the production of goods and services in which they have a lower opportunity cost, and then trade with others, they can both benefit from increased efficiency and higher overall output. This specialization and trade can lead to a more efficient allocation of resources, ultimately making both individuals and countries better off.
