Paper Summary:
This paper posits that free trade is not a benefit to the world economy and shows examples why this is the case. The paper looks at GATT and NAFTA in order to explain why free trade is not as advantageous as it sounds.From the Paper:
"If NAFTA is North America-oriented, GATT is still active. Right now, a major goal is tariff reduction. Despite national impediments and restrictive trade practices world-wide "tariffs will be reduced as much as 36% over the next decade. As with NAFTA, tariff reduction will open up domestic markets to foreign competition. Lower tariffs will also make it possible for manufacturers in industrialized nations to set up shop in countries where labor costs less." No wonder IBM and AT&T, ITT, Coca Cola, Ford and GM (among dozens of others) are anxious to "set up shop" in China and other Southeast Asian countries (until the current financial crisis may be giving some of them second thoughts)."More papers on Free Trade:
