Description

America's trade policy has been shaped by a unique approach: funding the rise of its rivals. This approach has been a subject of debate, with some arguing it's a recipe for disaster. Robert Lighthizer, a former US Trade Representative, has been at the forefront of this debate. In "No Trade is Free", he shares his perspective on the consequences of this approach and how it has impacted American workers. For over 40 years, Lighthizer has advocated for a more balanced approach to trade policy, one that prioritizes the interests of American workers. He has fought against the dominance of globalists, importers, and lobbyists who prioritize corporate profits over community well-being. The result has been a trade policy that has led to cheaper imports, but also thousands of factory closures, stagnant wages, and rising economic inequality. This book is a personal account of Lighthizer's experiences as a Trade Representative, as well as a historical analysis of the evolution of US trade policy. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing America's workers and the need for a more balanced approach to trade.
