US trade policy

mercredi 15 juillet 2015 à 14:00

U.S. Trade Policy Is Pro-Rich, Not Free Trade.

However, the "free trade" treaties are really treaties for corporate supremacy: trade is a side issue.

I don't think the US needs to have high tariffs; tariffs are a side issue. To the extent that these treaties implement free trade, that is harmful because it enables companies to shift production easily from country to country, this pressuring countries to compete for which will allow the worst abuse of workers.

That is the part of free trade that we need to get rid of.
