Recommendation

Globalization is good – good for America and the world – but it could be a whole lot better, according to this study from the Executive Office of the President. The Obama administration has plotted a course for global trade that it says will help American exports, support well-paying US jobs and throw a lifeline to the nation’s middle class. But as negotiations progress on two high-profile and often contentious treaties covering the Pacific and Atlantic regions, opposition to free trade builds in the United States and elsewhere. This well-researched report, while it cherry-picks the benefits and largely ignores the potential pitfalls, nevertheless stands as an essential primer for understanding the pro-trade viewpoint. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this overview to policy makers, investment managers, executives and NGO leaders.

Take-Aways

  • Proposed US trade policies, if attained, will usher in a new era of globalization.
  • The new treaties covering the Pacific and Atlantic regions can boost US exports, support well-paid American jobs and throw a lifeline to the nation’s middle class.
  • These trade guidelines aim to level the playing field for US exporters.
