Taking Trade to the Streets: The Lost History of Public Efforts

Taking Trade to the Streets: The Lost History of Public Efforts to Shape Globalization - Book by Susan Ariel Aaronson Good Condition. Please see attached Photos Book Description: The book explores how trade agreement critics built a fluid global movement to redefine the terms of trade agreements (the international system of rules governing trade) and to redefine how citizens talk about trade. (The "terms of trade" is a relationship between the prices of exports and of imports.) That movement, which has been growing since the 1980s, transcends borders as well as longstanding views about the role of government in the economy. While many trade agreement critics on the left say they want government policies to make markets more equitable, they find themselves allied with activists on the right who want to reduce the role of government in the economy.
