For more than 200 years, the question of free trade has been considered settled by economists. However, advancements in technology have considerably changed the world since David Ricardo popularized the concept of Comparative Advantage in the early 19th century, and the rise of economic populism around the world is increasingly calling long-held assumptions into question.

On the Question of Free Trade is a public debate between Dr. James D. Miller, Associate Professor of Economics at Smith College, and Vox Day, the author of The Return of the Great Depression, in which they address the vital question of whether free trade is intrinsically beneficial or detrimental to a national economy. Both participants are well-versed in economic history and economic theory, which permits them to bypass the political side issues that so often cloud such debates and focus on the core issues involved. The post-debate Q&A session is also included.

On the Question of Free Trade is an informative and thought-provoking discourse that will provide material for serious contemplation regardless of the reader's perspective on economics and free trade.

Concise and very clear discussion. Worth reading for sure.

This is the transcript of a debate. The debate was very respectful and both sides brought out the best in each other. I read this after reading Free Trade Doesn't Work.

Thought provoking page turner.

Excellent point made by Vox Day, free trade includes "free movement of people and labor" and therefore should have limitations.

A must read for anyone interested in Economics and Free Trade!

Excellent debate on Free trade. It really opened my eyes and both parties presented their positions well. It seems to a battle between theoretical and practical economics. I have changed my view on free trade as the evidence in front of my eyes makes it clear, in it's current form, it just doesn't work. Wealthy countries are bankrupted to spread the wealth to poorer countries whose standard of living hasn't improved all that much. It seems the only winners are multi-national corporations and their lap dog politicians. A must read for anyone interested in Economics.

Liked it, but 4 stars because it was merely the transcript of a 'debate' on Free Trade, vice a book.

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017

4 stars only because I expected a book (with facts and figures about Trade), and what I read instead was the transcript of a 'debate' on Free Trade instead (On the positive, it gives you the reader the chance to have been a 'fly-on-the-wall' at the debate, so that was good). The debate was well done, with great back and forth by an Economics Professor with a PhD in economics (For-absolute-free-trade) and a regular shmoe with a B.S. in economics (For limited trade). The regular shmoe (Vox Day) gave strong 'real-world' arguments for his position, and was ultimately (by attendee vote), decided the 'winner'; however, the PhD made great 'theoretical' arguments for his position. In many ways, both were right, so it was educational (just not facts & figures based, because a debate is a verbal discourse, and this book is simply that verbal discourse in printed form).

The dogmatic and naive approach of Dr. Miller is shattered by the historical analysis of the consequences of free trade by Vox and what does it mean for the developed countries, namely the transfer of industrial labour and population replacement that are pretty bad and unwanted. Food for thought.

Excellent quick read on the pros and cons of free trade. Vox seems to dismantle the mainstream view held by economists.

it's a nice short easy read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

The book is a fairly short debate on the pros and cons of free trade. While there were a few interesting arguments, I thought both sides could have gone into more detail. Black markets resulting from trade protectionism were not really discussed at all. Neither was the impact on individual liberty. That said, it's a nice short easy read, and did have a few interesting points.
