Globaphobia Revisited Open Trade and Its Critics

Globalization continues to be a political hot button around the world. The size & intensity of protests surrounding such recent events as the 1999 Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization; the 2000 International Monetary Fund & World Bank gathering in Washington, D.C.; & the 2001 Quebec City Summit of the Americas reveal the deep angst many still harbor toward increasingly open trade. In this revised & completely updated version of the 1998 Brookings best seller Globaphobia, Gary Burtless & Robert Litan once again confront criticisms & fears toward free trade. The book explains in non-technical language the advantages of furthering international trade & flaws in the arguments against globalization.Litan, Robert E. is the author of 'Globaphobia Revisited Open Trade and Its Critics', published 2003 under ISBN 9780815702245 and ISBN 0815702248.
