Features: Free trade is the lifeblood of the post-industrial economy. It has raised living standards and boosted productivity to levels that people in history never dreamed possible. In his book The Maligned Free Trade, Douglas A. Owen explains why free trade remains crucial and why we must win certain battles to secure it. The miracle of trade lies in making both parties to the transaction richer. Douglas A. Owen clearly and precisely reveals how the benefits of this miracle exceed its costs. This book is worth reading by everyone, especially those who oppose free trade. It systematically critiques arguments against free trade and provides a good assessment of the current state of thinking among economists. Written from an American perspective, the book offers passionate arguments and presents a wealth of facts, including recent events, to encourage broader discussion on free trade.
