Synopsis

This book explores the divide between economic theory and economic reality as it pertains to free trade and its effects. Through historical and present day examples, the author challenges the deep-rooted belief that free trade policies, when applied universally, have a positive overall impact on a nation's economy. Instead, the author argues that trade policies must be specifically tailored to each nation given its unique social, political, and economic circumstances. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and policy makers who seek to fully understand this complex matter.
