The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism

Bad Samaritans

farah

Will need to read some counter-arguments but the author makes a persuasive case. Especially when it comes to the "infant industry" idea.

A response to The World Is Flat challenges beliefs about free trade, globalization, and economic justice to provide a contrarian history of global capitalism, revealing how top-level economies achieved their wealth through less ethical practices that victimized the developing world.

Using irreverent wit, an engagingly personal style, and a battery of examples, Chang blasts holes in the "World Is Flat" orthodoxy of Thomas Friedman and other liberal economists who argue that only unfettered capitalism and wide-open international trade can lift struggling nations out of poverty.
