Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of edited papers is drawn from a number of eminent independent authors, mostly commissioned by private, non-political business associations and representing Japan, the US, Britain, Sweden, France, Spain and Australia. Each author deals with a separate but related aspect of free trade: the case for free trade is stated, the prospects are considered, and specific issues are analyzed. The specific aspects include Japan's trade surplus, perestroika in the West, and the scope for a regional Pacific trade bloc. The volume includes a set of positive recommendations for trade policy.
