  • Free Trade: Engine of Growth or Destroyer of Economies?

  • Because of international trade, the U. S. has been able to access the world’s talent, resources, and products. Recently, however, a growing bipartisan consensus holds that trade has hollowed out our manufacturing sector, crushed jobs, destroyed communities, and deepened inequality. This consensus favors protectionism. We will explore the arguments for and against free trade. Does it kill jobs? Benefit consumers? Threaten national security? Are trade deficits bad? We will consider the economic and political implications of protectionism, paying particular attention to tariffs and our trade relations with China.
