Alan S. Blinder
The Free-Trade Paradox
The Bad Politics of a Good Idea
Foreign Affairs, 2018
Aperçu
The politics of global trade can undermine its economic benefits.
Recommendation
The United States today is less attuned to the benefits of global trade than it once was, says economist Alan S. Blinder in this eloquent essay that makes a strong case for free trade. He points to the Trump administration’s protectionist moves, which have already agitated financial markets and could further ripple through the US economy. In arguing on the side of free trade, he takes the long view and provides crucial historical perspective. This topical piece is likely to interest trade experts, economists and executives engaged in international business.
