The Myth of Free Trade: The Pooring of America

1987

Synopsis

"The Myth of Free Trade: The Pooring of America" by Ravi Batra is a book that challenges the conventional wisdom that free trade is always beneficial. Batra argues that instead of creating prosperity, free trade policies have led to economic decline and increased poverty in America. He presents evidence to support his claim, pointing to the loss of manufacturing jobs, declining wages, and growing income inequality as consequences of free trade agreements. Batra suggests that protectionist measures and a more balanced approach to trade are necessary to protect American workers and industries. The book is a critique of globalization and advocates for a reevaluation of trade policies to prioritize domestic economic interests.
