Ep. 27 Is Free Trade Good or Bad?


Contra Krugman with Bob Murphy and Tom Woods

Episode

Krugman discusses how economists should respond to the growth in sympathy for protectionism. Along the way, his Keynesian assumptions lead him to oddball conclusions. Bob and Tom also spend some time explaining the classical case for free trade and discussing whether that case has been vitiated in light of modern conditions.
