Recent debates over an alphabet soup of trade agreements -- GATT, GUSFTA, WTO, NAFTA, and others -- are remarkably confusing to the ordinary citizen. They are also marked by strident disagreements, with experts on both sides marshaling economic data and moral arguments and charging that their opponents are driven predominantly by ideological conviction. Daniel Finn, an economist and Christian ethicist, helpfully and clearly sorts through the conflicting claims about international trade and analyzes the three policy areas most controverted in debates about trade: agriculture, the environment, and employment. His straightforward explanations of complicated and controversial issues will be appreciated by readers at many levels of familiarity with the topic.
