Free Trade Doesn’t Work

“Free Trade Doesn’t Work” by Ian Fletcher takes you through many arguments to demonstrate why free trade fails to be a coherent and viable economic policy. The book explains in detail why the standard economic arguments free traders use all the time are false, and what kind of economic ideas – well within the grasp of the average American – justify protectionism instead. It examines the history and politics of free trade and explains how America came to adopt its present disastrous free trade policy.
