The Myth of Free Trade

This book throws down the gauntlet to economic orthodoxy and challenges the gospel of free trade. As an antidote to those economic ills of the federal deficit, reliance on foreign imports, widespread downsizing, and environmental destruction, it sets out a five-year plan for economic revival that includes raising tariffs on imports, banning mergers among giant firms, and encouraging domestic competition by splitting huge corporations into smaller units.
