Young Zoe Chace has been doing a series for NPR on then garment trade that I devoted a half-day to studying. She does very good reporting, plus NPR has devoted tremendous talented resources to enlivening the series. It has taken 20 years, but what I have said all along is now making it on to State Radio: NAFTA is not free trade.
My local radio station carries her work here, and give a listen or read to her various articles, in particular:
Secret Protectionism Buried inside NAFTA
And pay attention to the term "Yarn-forward rules" for a sense of how carefully and arbitrarily "free trade" is crafted for a desired result. And then see how those results are never achieved anyway. And then "free trade" gets blamed.
No such thing as Comparative Advantage. If you are taught that in school as anything more than a neat idea, but never occurs in the real world, ask for your money back, the school is engaged in malpractice.
