Their dialogue is a sophisticated, rigorous discussion of virtually every major issue in trade theory and policy. To illustrate the positive and normative effects of international trade and trade policy, Ricardo takes the reader and Ed Johnson into the future to see an America of free trade and an America of complete self-sufficiency. The fictional element brings these topics to life so that students gain the intuition and understanding of how trade changes the lives of people and the industries they work in. The fundamental intuition of how international markets function including general equilibrium effects and policy analysis is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Russell Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070231302378,"sku":"9780131433540","price":52.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/51Yg_uqcziL._SY522.jpg?v=1781251573","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/choice-the-a-fable-of-free-trade-and-protection","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
