Recommendation
At one time, the United States produced all the iron ore for its steel production domestically. Then, in the early 1980s, foreign competition entered the US market and forced American producers to achieve greater productivity. In this eye-opening article, researcher Dany Bahar draws on this historical experience to explain how free trade – not trade barriers – supports the US steel industry. getAbstract recommends this succinct analysis to executives and trade experts for its cogent treatment of a relevant topic that has large-scale repercussions on the global economy.
