Rethinking the Costs of Free Trade
Note: We will end our discussion in time for people to attend the memorial for the victims at Virginia Tech at the UC at 8:30 PM.
This week in Global Hour we will take a look at our thoughts on free trade. Do you know what you mean when you use the word and do you know what others mean? Free trade will certainly be an issue in the upcoming election campaigns.
Some Points and Questions to Ponder:
1. What does free trade mean?
2. Do all parties benefit equally in free trade situations?
3. The theories on which free trade was founded are pre-information age. Do those theories still apply?
4. Is it time to start practicing protectionism again? If so what does that mean and how do you implement it?
5. Who wins in free trade and who loses?
6. Do developing nations benefit from free trade with developed nations?
