Against the Tide An Intellectual History of Free Trade

Free trade enjoys an intellectual status unrivaled by any other doctrine in the field of economics. A professor of economics explains how free trade achieved this position and has endured against the tide of abundant criticisms and theoretical challenges from Adam Smith's day through the present. "Full of new insights and unexpected delights. . . . A work that is not only interesting and inspiring but of great practical use".--Paul Krugman, "Journal of Economic Literature". 14 photos.
