FREE TRADE
WE PROBABLY CAN'T PUT THE GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE BUT WE SURE CAN MAKE IT WORK FOR US
A GOOD ARTICLE APPEARED IN THE NY TIMES TODAY DISCUSSING HOW INTERLINKED THE WORLD'S TRADE IS AND HOW DIFFICULT IT WILL BE TO SIMPLY CLAMP DOWN ON FREE TRADE. IT OBSERVES THAT CLAMPING DOWN ON FREE TRADE MAY HURT JOBS. TAKE A LOOK:
SO MAYBE THAT GENIE IS GOING TO BE TOO HARD TO PUT BACK IN THE BOTTLE. AND MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T.
BUT ONE THING WE SHOULD BE DOING IS TO MAKE THE GENIE WORK FOR US BY TAMING SHORT-TERMISM. MAKE THE BENEFITS OF FREE TRADE WORK TO BUILD BUSINESSES, JOBS AND THE ECONOMY, AND NOT BE SIPHONED OFF TO ENRICH WALL STREET.
