Ricardo's Gauntlet: Economic Fiction and the Flawed Case for Free Trade - Paperback

by Vishaal Kishore (Author)

'Ricardo's Gauntlet' advances a critique of the mainstream economic case for international free trade. Taking apart the cluster of interconnected and mutually enforcing 'economic fictions' upon which the argument for free trade relies, the book challenges the case where it is thought to be strongest, exposing both its fragility and the urgent need for alternatives.
