"Brilliantly conceived."—Martin Wolf, Financial Times
"Gather around all of you who have been flummoxed by concepts like comparative advantage and purchasing power parity, puzzled about the difference between a tariff and a quota, or confused about which is better—fair trade or free trade. Russell Roberts explains the mysteries of global life in a heartwarming tale you won't soon forget."—Susan Lee, The Wall Street Journal
"Russell Roberts' clever allegory clearly points out the fundamental danger threatening free trade: the favoring of the few at the expense of the many. More importantly, he makes a difficult situation understandable…and enjoyable!"—Fred Smith, CEO, Federal Express
"…Puts the complex…issues surrounding…theemerging global economy into understandable terms. The ending is a surprise, the journey a pleasure. And the payoff for the reader is a broader, more vivid appreciation of trade issues."—Doug Harbrecht, Business Week
