If you already know free trade is a mistake, but don't know how to prove it or what to do about it, then this book is for you.
If you still think free trade is good for America and the world, you're in for a big surprise...

Free trade is fine. Globally managed trade is what sucks.

My view is simple.
Tariffs=taxes
Taxes=bad

It’s probably just a coincidence that your screen name is the same as the author’s but I wonder if the book goes into the effects unions, regulations and frivolous lawsuits have had on manufacturing in this country.

i guess hiding behind unionism and inferior products, pricing them expensively and forcing the population to take them is a brilliant idea. calling venezuela. calling zimbabwe. calling the unionist foes of productivity and wealth creation. calling other fools please.

Repeal the 16th amendment and let Washington go back to raising revenue the way the founders envisioned - through tariffs.

You'd be in for a big surprise only if you didn't think for yourself. Tariffs have never worked to do anything other than impoverish ordinary working Americans and enrich the parasites who have managed to co-opt the machinery of the government (i.e., the liberals at this stage of the game):

Wow, this book manages to be anti-producer and anti-consumer at the same time! It is pro-union though...

Free Trade is a death march for an advanced society and economy.
Soon, the 3rd world would be your master.
They are NOT going to play by any rule that puts them at a disadvantage.
Either we take charge of our economic future, or they will.

I think we’re mixing our definitions a bit. Free trade, as I understand it, is free as in ‘unrestricted.’ The opposite of Japan’s anti-trade stance when Admiral Perry burst in on the scene.
What are you defining it as?

Free trade is a terrible idea if you own a steel mill or run a union.
This book endorsed by John J. Sweeney and Leo Gerard. I don't have enough time to read books endorsed by these losers. Gee, what other brilliant ideas do these endorse?
Good call.

I’d love to buy a copy of this book, but the global communist policies of the past couple of decades have reduced our expenditures to bare subsistence levels. No joke.

Before the advent of corporations and their takeover of the political system, there was very little support for Free Trade in the United States. The ideology that supports Free Trade does so on the basis of slogans and name-calling rather than logic and reason.

Free trade with most of the world has been a success. Free trade with most of Asia has been an unmitigated disaster.
Besides if we didn't allow the Asian merchantilists to undervalue their currencies by buying up our debt who would buy all the T-bills floating around?
