Free Trade Myths, Realities and Alternatives

This book takes a fresh look at this issue in economic policy. Graham Dunkley provides a critical history of international trade and an alternative analysis to orthodox doctrines about trade policy. He argues that trade, although a natural economic process, has today become much more complex, deregulated and divorced from development than is desirable. He concludes by suggesting elements of a new approach to development and an alternative world trading and economic order.

Graham Dunkley is Senior Lecturer in Economics in the Faculty of Business, Victoria University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
