More copies of this ISBN:The Selling of "Free Trade": NAFTA, Washington, and the Subversion of American Democracyby John R Macarthur
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Journalist John R. MacArthur exposes the means by which an unpopular trade agreement was moved from obscurity into acceptance in U.S. policy, at a time when both the Democratic Party and labor union activists were in opposition to it, and he shows the consequences to workers whose employers moved plants south of the Mexico border for cheaper labor. Synopsis:"If there is spin, there is counterspin: "The Selling of 'Free Trade' is a devastating unraveling of yet another Bill Clinton con job. MacArthur tells the NAFTA story in the voices of those who did the spinning and those who suffered from it. It doesn't get much better."--Seymour M. Hersh "A gripping and fresh analysis of the corporate construction of an onrushing NAFTA and the human damage in its wake. MacArthur demonstrates what happens when an underdeveloped democracy is confronted by an overdeveloped corporation-governmental oligarchy."--Ralph Nader, consumer advocate.
Synopsis:The Selling of Free Trade shows how Washington works to accomplish political or economic goals, even when confronted with widespread popular opposition. John R. MacArthur chronicles the brutal and expensive campaign in 1993 that led to passage of the poorly understood, highly controversial law creating the North American Free Trade Agreement.
