10th Edition
When economists talk about U.S. trade policy, beliefs and values that are fundamental to our civic culture often get lost in conflicting interpretations of economic data and pedantic debates over competing theoretical models. U.S. Trade Policy: Competing in a Global Economy seeks to cut through the haze of statistics and formulas in order to place beliefs and values at the center of the national discussion on trade policy.

The emergence of U.S. trade policy as a vital public issue has made the unit particularly relevant. The World Trade Organization (WTO), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the growing economic power of the developing world, most-favored-nation status for China, and other key trade issues lately have occupied a prominent position on the national agenda. U.S. Trade Policy: Competing in a Global Economy provides students with the tools to express their views on these important topics.
