Reviews"Sherrod Brown demolishes the seven myths of NAFTA, and the 'wonders' of free-trade. . . . In Brown we have an eloquent public servant--rather than a go-along private one." --Studs Terkel "Sherrod Brown reveals the power, corruption, and lies behind U.S. trade policy." --Eric Schlosser, We discovered that the Chilean government had hired Bob Dole to represent them against U.S. salmon farmers. Dole had served as chair of the Senate Finance Committee, the panel with jurisdiction over trade. After my office alerted the media, Dole angrily demanded to know who that Ohio Congressman was who had outed him.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisA myth-busting guide to free-trade ideology from the ranking Democrat on the House's Commerce Committee., The subject of widespread attention when first released, including the pages of the New York Times Book Review , Myths of Free Trade provides a front-row seat to the Washington spectacle of corporate lobbying and political intimidation that keeps the free-trade mantra alive as American policy, despite all the evidence of its failure. U.S. Representative Sherrod Brown--a leading progressive voice in Congress and a twelve-year veteran of Washington's trade wars--takes apart free-trade dogma, myth by myth. His book is an accessible, personal, globe-trotting chronicle, taking the reader from the coffee fields of Nicaragua to the sweatshops of China; from the toxic wastelands on the Mexican border to the halls of Congress. Described as an "essential primer" by The Progressive and a "voice of truth" by Public Citizen News , this edition includes a fascinating update that describes the congressional battle over the Central American Free Trade Agreement--a battle led by Tom DeLay on one side and Sherrod Brown on the other., A revised and updated edition of the provocative book from the man Studs Terkel calls "one of the hippest members of Congress."
