Looking for Common Ground on U.S. Trade Policy

by Murray L. Weidenbaum, Erik R. Peterson (Foreword by)

In this report, the author tracks the unraveling of what had been a broad consensus on trade policy--a consensus that had existed until the 1970s--up through the demonstrations in Seattle and Genoa. He then examines the major criticisms of international trade and the global economy. He responds to these concerns in the most constructive manner possible--looking for common ground that might allow real progress on these important issues.
