Features: Today's Free Trade is both informative and engaging to read, of course, most importantly, its authority. Bhagwati is an authority in trade theory, and in this book, he skillfully handles economic theories and applies them to current debates on trade and trade policies. In Today's Free Trade, Bhagwati explores the real-world of trade policy, combining profound theoretical knowledge with a keen insight into practical situations, discussing the growing concern about the social, moral, and economic impacts of international trade. With sharp wit and a concise, elegant style, if anyone is qualified to lead the support or criticism of free trade, it should be Bhagwati. He has made the most comprehensive and most systematically organized arguments for free trade since Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Today's Free Trade is Bhagwati's magnum opus.
