Free Trade: NAFTA and GATT
Free trade constitutes one of the most important and explosive issues of this era. NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and GATT, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, are the two major instruments of an emerging global economic order. Advocates of free trade contend that it will generate economic growth and create jobs. Critics argue that transnational corporations will benefit, real wages will decline and environmental degradation will accelerate. David Morris has made a special study of free trade.
