Recommendation
In this engaging study, a true believer in trade sings the praises of the flow of international goods. Fred P. Hochberg, former head of the US Export-Import Bank, uses avocados, iPhones and Hondas to explain just how much supply chains have changed in recent decades. Hondas, he reports, are the most American cars on US roads, even more so than such icons as the Chevy Corvette and Ford F-150. Though he acknowledges the economic pain of those on the wrong end of globalization, Hochberg nonetheless makes a compelling case that trade deficits don’t really matter at all.
