Éste es también para cualquier persona que tiene dinero en el mercado de valores, o que quiere empezar a hacer dinero real desde el mercado. incluso si youve nunca hizo un comercio en Su vida.) Haga clic en el video para verlo: (NOTA: El curso contiene vídeos de TAMAÑO COMPLETO para que pueda ver exactamente lo que está sucediendo.) De: David Vallieres y Eric Holmlund Escrito: martes, 9:42. Al borde de una crisis mundial Estimado futuro comerciante de élite, L et me te digo algo que odio, y luego le diré algo que me encanta. Odio ver buenas personas perder dinero en el mercado de valores. A nadie le gusta perder dinero. He estado allí y he hecho eso. Tal vez por eso tengo compasión por los millones de personas que actualmente están perdiendo mucho de su valor financiero. La gente está perdiendo sus carteras de acciones, perdiendo sus 401k, perdiendo sus puestos de trabajo debido a la economía agria, y sólo en general recibió una palmada por Wall Street. Desafortunadamente, no puedo ayudar a las masas a evitar la pérdida financiera. Es sólo una parte de cómo se juega el juego. Alguien siempre va a perder dinero. Sin embargo, puedo ayudar a aquellos que están dispuestos a ayudarse a sí mismos. Y ya que estás aquí leyendo esta página, que te incluye :-) En otras palabras, alguien siempre va a perder dinero, pero que alguien no tiene que ser tú Y lo que me encanta amo a la gente para lograr el éxito en sus vidas. Así que supongo que este amor y el odio es lo que me motivó a crear el sistema de Trading Pro para usted. Usted no encontrará este sistema que está siendo enseñado por cualquier otra persona, y tiene absolutamente el potencial para cambiar drásticamente su vida para mejor Sin embargo, no voy a darle de comer un montón de obtener rico rápido bombo, porque eso no es lo que el curso es , Ni es mi estilo. En su lugar, voy a ir directamente al punto y simplemente decirle. Lo que este curso es todo acerca de lo que hará por usted lo que está incluido y cómo podrá acceder a él. Esto ha sido 20 AÑOS en la fabricación En primer lugar, quiero que sepa que este programa no sólo fue concebido en las últimas semanas y embalado como un producto para vender. Este curso es el resultado y la culminación de 20 años de pensar, planear, aprender y practicar el material que usted recibirá. La razón por la que decidí enseñarle mis métodos se revela en esta carta. No voy a esconder nada. Quiero ser muy claro desde el principio. A diferencia de muchas personas que enseñan opciones y acciones, no soy un antiguo fabricante de mercado o especialista o un profesional con licencia en la industria financiera. Soy un inversor minorista como usted. La diferencia es que encontré una manera de ser exitoso y rentable de comercio de valores y opciones como un negocio real de mi oficina en casa. Los métodos comerciales que utilizo también son utilizados por los gestores de fondos de cobertura profesionales y profesionales del mercado que rara vez, si acaso, hablan de sus estrategias. Así que probablemente te estás preguntando, ¿Por qué daría estos secretos? Para responder a esa pregunta, te diré que hay tres razones por las que quiero enseñarte este negocio. 1) No hay razón para no enseñarte mis secretos. Seriamente. No tengo nada que perder. Los mercados son enormes y en todo el mundo y cualquiera puede cambiarlos sin disminuir la oportunidad. De hecho, sólo mejoraría las cosas. Cuantos más comerciantes, más dinero podemos hacer y más líquido se convierte el mercado. Es realmente un ganar-ganar-ganar. A diferencia de otras empresas - como la que he estado involucrado en los últimos 9 años (Internet marketing) - este negocio sólo obtiene MEJOR como más personas lo hacen. 2) Soy una persona de negocios, pero también soy un profesor. He estado enseñando a la gente cómo utilizar Internet para iniciar un negocio desde 1999. He enseñado a miles de personas cómo hacer su vida en línea para la enseñanza es algo que me encanta hacer. No hay muchas personas que realmente entienden este negocio y están dispuestos a enseñar a otros. 3) Francamente, un poco de dinero extra de vender este curso significa que más puedo poner a buen uso en mi negocio comercial. Obviamente, pongo mi dinero donde obtengo el mayor retorno por la cantidad invertida. La mayor parte del dinero que hago de la venta de este curso va directamente a mi negocio comercial. No sé cuáles son tus habilidades o la rapidez con la que puedes aprender este negocio mientras te enseño, así que nunca te diré cuánto puedes hacer pero 5 (o mucho más) al mes es una meta muy accesible. Ive personalmente visto vuelve tan alto como 62,5 (ROM) - thats 1,000 por cada 1,600 invertido. Pero permítanme explicar por qué este curso es diferente de cualquier cosa que haya visto antes. La mayoría de la gente piensa que los mercados son demasiado arriesgados y su enfoque es impredecible, especulación pura o peor. JUEGO Te lo diré ahora mismo. Mi sistema de comercio no es el juego Trato de comercio como un negocio real. De hecho, ni siquiera me considero un inversionista o especulador o comerciante en el sentido tradicional. La verdad es, y esto es exactamente cómo me veo a mí mismo: soy un empresario. Como empresario busco oportunidades en el mercado, así como participar en la compra y venta de actividades para generar el mayor retorno de mi inversión y luego simplemente gestionar mi riesgo. Mi producto es opciones y existencias. Los compro y los vendo para ganar dinero. Todos los negocios compran y venden para ganar dinero - solo lo hago con acciones y opciones. Todos los buenos negocios manejan basados ​​en números y ratios - yo hago lo mismo - manejo por los números Todos los negocios planean beneficios y crean oportunidades para el mayor retorno de inversión (ROI) posible - yo también, excepto que creo oportunidades para el Mayor retorno sobre margen (ROM). Sé exactamente cuáles serán mis ganancias máximas antes de colocar un comercio. No adivino ni especulo: tengo un plan. Entonces simplemente gestiono la posición y, si es necesario, ajusta mis posiciones para seguir siendo rentable o recortar mis pérdidas a través de técnicas inteligentes de gestión de riesgos y recoger mis beneficios al final del ciclo de negociación (mensual). Este es un negocio de hoja perenne. A medida que los mercados cambian y la economía cambia. Mi sistema siempre funcionará Este negocio nunca cambiará. Los principios, una vez que los aprendes, son tuyos para siempre. Usted podría aprender estos y entregarlos a sus hijos y nietos. Los fundamentos de este negocio nunca cambiarán porque los principios subyacentes nunca cambiarán. Es por eso que lo llamo un negocio de hoja perenne. A diferencia de las franquicias u otros tipos de mercados de consumidores o de empresa a empresa, los mercados de acciones y opciones han existido durante cientos de años. Y aunque los mercados se mueven y cambian de alguna manera, los principios han sido los mismos durante los últimos 200 años. ¿Cómo descubrí cómo iniciar un negocio de acciones y opciones? Un día me desperté un día para encontrar un poco de dinero extra sentado en un mercado de dinero ganando 1,5 al año. El año siguiente ganaba 3. wow - 3 al año. Sentí que mi dinero debería ser puesto a un uso mejor y más productivo y comencé a buscar en todo tipo de oportunidades de franquicia y otras empresas para invertir en. Pero todos tenían un inconveniente - la inversión financiera era grande, pero también lo fue la inversión de tiempo. Algo que realmente no tenía como un padre de cuatro. Así que después de años de éxito o de perder el comercio comencé a pensar en el comercio como un negocio real hace aproximadamente 2 años y medio - la compra y venta de acciones y opciones como un negocio. No sabía si podía hacerse, pero la idea me intrigó. Sabía que alguien, en algún lugar estaba haciendo un asesinato en los mercados y yo estaba decidido a encontrarlos, aprender todo lo que saben y hacer una matanza de la mía. Estaba decidido a ejecutar mi comercio como un negocio. No como un jugador, y eso significaba mirar las oportunidades, la oferta y la demanda, la dinámica del mercado y la gestión de mi negocio basado en sólidos fundamentos de negocios: ganancias, pérdidas, gastos, gastos generales y retorno de la inversión. Como cualquier negocio mi única preocupación era comprar algo que podría vender con una ganancia - y con bastante de un margen de beneficio de modo que mis gastos (aunque pequeño) fueran cubiertos dejándome con un ingreso constante y confiable. El negocio de comercio tiene todas estas ventajas. Una vez que conoce el sistema, este negocio se puede gestionar en 15 minutos al día. Tiene todos los ingredientes del negocio perfecto El problema con la creación de un negocio basado en los mercados es que parece que están cambiando constantemente y hay un montón de riesgo Como usted sabe, los mercados suben un día y el siguiente I Estaba realmente confundido que manera el mercado daría vuelta, y puesto que odiaba la idea de perder el dinero intenté predecir la dirección de los mercados porque ése es cómo PENSÓ que el dinero fue hecho. Tengo muy, muy bien en el análisis técnico. Pensé que era la clave de los beneficios. Si pudiera decir dónde estaba dirigido el mercado sería fácil ganar dinero, a la derecha aprendí todo sobre las olas y velas, MACD, ADX, CCI, Bollinger Bands y Fibonacci y cientos de patrones de gráficos. Y pensé que sabía algo sobre el futuro del mercado Francamente, los indicadores técnicos son como muletas - sólo ayudan a apoyar y validar sus ideas comerciales ya formados en su mente. No le ayudan a convertirse en un mejor operador o ver la realidad del mercado. Hay sólo 3 indicadores técnicos que necesita para ejecutar este negocio: soporte, resistencia y líneas de tendencia. Eso es. Lo mantenemos simple. Simple me hace dinero. También descubrí que el TOP 1 de todos los comerciantes hace exactamente lo contrario de lo que traté de hacer cuando empecé (predecir el mercado). El hecho es. Los mejores comerciantes NUNCA tratan de predecir el mercado - sólo gestionan el riesgo. La mayoría de los comerciantes de elite no se preocupan si el mercado sube o baja - que ganar dinero de cualquier manera. Utilizan los gráficos con moderación. Todos los principales comerciantes hacer es gestionar su riesgo y aprovechar las únicas verdades del mercado - la única verdades absolutas del mercado. Para las acciones que una verdad absoluta es esta: 1) Todas las acciones fluctúan en el precio. Para las opciones hay dos verdades absolutas: 1) Todas las opciones fluctúan en el precio y 2) Todas las opciones caducan. Los principales comerciantes aprenden a respetar estas reglas porque son las únicas verdades del mercado. Usted podría pensar que hay otras verdades, pero no arent-- Todo lo que oyes sobre el mercado fuera de estas 2 reglas es rumor, opinión, comentario e incluso fantasía completa. Por supuesto que nunca se oye nadie en CNBC incluso mencionar estas dos reglas porque no tendrían nada que informar ¿Puede usted imaginar María Bartiromo diciendo, los precios fluctuaron hoy. Tenga una noche agradable todo el mundo Im fuera de aquí yo no lo pienso así que los comerciantes superiores respetan estas reglas porque son tan de gran alcance y las ayuda a cortar con el ruido del mercado. Entonces diseñan su negocio comercial alrededor de estas reglas PARA TOMARLE VENTAJA de ellas. Una vez que ven una oportunidad que saltan en él y simplemente gestionar su negocio por los números y, para mí se tarda 15 minutos - a veces menos - un día. ¿Cuánto puede hacer con franqueza, depende de su capital, la capacidad de aprender, y su capacidad para mantener su disciplina en este negocio. No se preocupe por lo mucho que tiene que iniciar su negocio de inversión (a pesar de que tenía una cantidad considerable de dinero que podría invertir, empecé el mío con una pequeña cantidad para poder aprender este negocio). Sólo aprender las habilidades y reinvertir sus beneficios - que crecerá rápidamente. ¿Ha perdido su CONFIANZA? Si ha perdido dinero en el mercado puede destruir su confianza. Mi sistema le permitirá comerciar con confianza 100 de nuevo, porque en lugar de esperar a hacer un beneficio por adivinar qué hacer, youll tienen un plan. Recuerda lo que dije en la parte superior de esta carta. Esto no se trata de bombo. Nunca garantizaré que usted hará el dinero con este negocio porque no puedo decir cómo usted utilizará la información que voy a compartir con usted. Su éxito en su negocio de inversión depende de una sola cosa: Las decisiones que usted hace. La única manera de que usted tome las decisiones correctas es por tener un conocimiento superior. Una vez que usted entienda cómo hacer REALMENTE el dinero, usted negociará con confianza total. Eso es lo que puedo hacer por ti y no lo digo a la ligera, es cierto. Además, no puedo darte asesoramiento oficial de inversión porque no soy un asesor de inversiones registrado en la SEC y no soy un CFP (planificador financiero certificado), así que si ves los videos y me ves negociando un determinado ETF o acciones por favor hazlo No interpretarlo como una recomendación. Puedo mostrarte exactamente lo que hago, y cómo lo hago. Le enseñaré prácticamente todo lo que sé acerca de este negocio, pero las decisiones reales que usted toma con su dinero depende de sólo una persona: Usted. Sin embargo, puedo decirles con un alto grado de certeza: No hay nadie que les diga lo que voy a compartir con ustedes. Nadie. Usted podría pagar 5.000 o más para asistir a los mejores seminarios de negociación, y todavía no aprenderá lo que voy a enseñar que fui a un seminario de 5,000 de alto nivel, super avanzado el año pasado puesto por un veterano de 25 años - un antiguo comerciante de piso y Mercado en las opciones en el CBOE. Fui a otro hace 2 años que cuesta 3.000 y me dieron una punta de ella - cómo saber si una acción está en un canal. No es broma, que fue de 3.000 dólares Lo que voy a enseñar que va a soplar todo lo que he aprendido en cualquiera de estos seminarios. No estoy bromeando. De hecho, diría que, en verdad, eran casi un desperdicio de mi dinero. Digo casi porque ayudaron un poco pero carecían de la aplicación práctica del conocimiento que presentaron - era sobre todo teoría que dejó al asistente no mejor apagado, en términos prácticos, que eran cuando comenzaron. Este curso es el auténtico. Realmente funciona y muy pocas personas (incluso profesionales) enseñar a nadie cómo hacerlo. Sé que esto es un hecho porque he hablado con algunos de los profesionales, y o no saben este sistema, o bien no están dispuestos a admitirlo. Pero hay algunos chicos que realmente saben esto dentro y por fuera (un tipo es la clase de enseñar esto y los otros no lo están enseñando en absoluto). Los encontré y elegí su cerebro una y otra vez hasta que lo averigué y se me ocurrió un sistema basado en lo que me dijeron. La mayoría de ellos ni siquiera saben cómo explicar lo que hacen, es como instinto para ellos y no podían expresar lo que hicieron de una manera coherente paso a paso, así que realmente lo había sacado de ellos. Luego reuní lo que aprendí y elaboré un sistema de negocios completo que cualquiera puede seguir. Sólo digo que creo que le sorprenderá lo rentable y fácil que es correr - y sólo 15 minutos al día es todo lo que necesita. Por otro lado, si desea hacer de esto un negocio a tiempo completo - usted puede Hay un montón de oportunidades para hacer aún más dinero si usted tiene más tiempo para dedicar a este negocio. Así que vamos a ver si usted es el tipo adecuado de persona para tomar este curso: ¿Ha estado en el mercado como un inversor y ha sido decepcionado con los resultados ¿Te quedas lejos de los mercados, porque usted piensa que son demasiado arriesgado ¿Está confundido por técnicos y Análisis fundamental ¿Te gustaría dejar de GUESSING qué dirección de los mercados van, y tener el enfoque profesional para el comercio como un negocio ¿La idea de la gestión de su negocio por los números tiene sentido para usted ¿La idea de las existencias de comercio y las opciones como un real Negocio suena bien a usted Si usted contestó SÍ a cualquier UNA o más de las preguntas arriba, pienso que usted sería un buen candidato para esta formación. Heres lo que vas a conseguir en el curso. Hay un total de 41 videos dentro del curso. Los videos se agrupan en varios Módulos, con cada Módulo que contiene videos prácticos que le guían a través de los temas cubiertos. Utilizamos videos porque puedes VER exactamente qué hacer mientras aprendes, y puedes verlos una y otra vez (si es necesario) para revisar y construir tu comprensión.

Este Módulo contiene más de 4 horas de gran enseñanza LOS GRIEGOS - MANEJO POR LOS NÚMEROS Los griegos desempeñan un papel fundamental en su negocio comercial.

Informe especial incluido Im también incluye la más completa, pero fácil de leer 5 páginas CONFIDENCIAL INFORME sobre cómo beneficiarse de Los Griegos disponibles en el mundo (sí, el mundo, y no, no estoy bromeando). SELECCIÓN DE COMERCIO Y ESTRATEGIA Hemos establecido el escenario, ahora es el momento de seguir adelante con el trabajo a mano. Aquí es donde las cosas se ponen buenas e interesantes. ¿Qué posiciones tomamos? ¿Cómo determinamos cuándo y cómo importan los gráficos? ¿Cuál es el panorama general de lo que estábamos haciendo? Este Módulo va en profundidad con CINCO videos que cubren EEM, ADSK, DIA, SPY e IWM (No te preocupes, lo entenderás Todos más tarde) Construir una cartera poniendo en las posiciones que trabajan juntos. Aquí es donde muchos comerciantes se equivocan - se ponen en posiciones individuales y no entienden cómo afectan a su cartera general. Youll descubrir por qué la diversificación en los plazos, precios y estrategias es una clave para ganar dinero. Esto es simplemente fundamental para ser un buen inversionista. LAS HERRAMIENTAS DEL COMERCIO ThinkorSwim (TOS), en mi opinión es el mejor corredor y tiene la mejor plataforma de negociación disponible. Si tuvieras que pagar por separado para el tipo de herramientas de análisis que te dan como titular de una cuenta que le costará muchos cientos de dólares al mes en honorarios - con TOS theyre libre. Te llevo dentro de la plataforma TOS y te ayuda a acceder a la potencia que tienes en tus dedos.

Ahora que hemos construido nuestra cartera, cómo lo gestionamos por los números Aprendimos los griegos, por lo que ahora es el momento de ponerlos en acción. La clave del éxito es saber cómo mirar los números y saber, sin duda, lo que significan y qué hacer con ellos, si algo. Este módulo incluye 5 videos asesinos con ejemplos de la vida real como manejo una cartera. EL ARTE DE LOS AJUSTES - LA TECLA SECRETA Qué sucede cuando nuestros números no se ven bien Aquí es donde 99 de todos los comerciantes mueren en el mercado. No tienen ni idea de qué hacer cuando una posición va en contra de ellos y pierden dinero. Su demasiado malo porque la mayoría de los oficios se pueden ahorrar para hacer un beneficio Imagine hacer un pequeño cambio a su posición y aumentar sus probabilidades de hacer un beneficio de 80 Eso es lo que el ajuste puede hacer por usted En el comercio como un negocio, SABEMOS qué hacer. Negociamos con confianza. Sabemos y entendemos que cuando un comercio va en contra de nosotros es una OPORTUNIDAD de agregar a nuestra cartera mediante el ajuste. Lo llamo Asignación Inteligente de Capital. El arte de los ajustes es el eslabón perdido en las opciones comerciales y las existencias que casi nadie enseña. Cómo y cuándo cerrar posiciones, y cómo cerrarlas para obtener máximos beneficios. Los riesgos de mantener posiciones en la semana de vencimiento. Cuándo y cómo comprar un seguro a corto plazo para proteger sus ganancias y aumentar su riqueza en la semana de vencimiento. Cómo cerrar las posiciones y obtener los oficios libres dejó que, aunque pequeña, tienen una oportunidad de DOUBLING nuestras ganancias. Este módulo contiene 5 videos, y el tema clave aquí es MAXIMIZANDO nuestras ganancias LA GRAN IMAGEN - ANÁLISIS TÉCNICO ¿Qué tipos de análisis técnicos nos ayudan en nuestro negocio? Sólo hay unas pocas herramientas de análisis clave que pueden ayudarle a determinar las probabilidades de dirección del mercado y Les digo exactamente cuáles son. Le daré ideas sobre por qué el mercado se mueve de la manera que lo hace. Ill también darle una perspectiva histórica sobre los movimientos del mercado que se remonta a 1900 y darle un plan realista de ataque para determinar la dirección del mercado futuro sobre la base de pruebas fácticas. En el segundo video, me sumerjo en indicadores a corto plazo que pueden agudizar su ventaja en los mercados para mejorar el tiempo de sus operaciones. Entonces le digo sobre un indicador que tropezó, que predice a corto plazo y la apertura de la dirección del mercado con un grado sorprendente de precisión cerca de 95 de la época, así como la forma de determinar los movimientos intra-día y cómo saber si el dinero está fluyendo Dentro o fuera de las existencias y lo que significa para las tendencias de precios intra-día. Este módulo contiene más de 3 horas de sólida enseñanza. TÉCNICAS AVANZADAS Y ESTRATEGIAS EXPLOSIVAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA RIQUEZA Ni siquiera una de estas estrategias requiere conocimientos de análisis técnico - puede ayudar, pero no es necesario. Éstos hacen el dinero si el mercado va para arriba o para abajo. Estas son estrategias que puede manejar en función de los números. Una cosa importante que debo mencionar: Hay maneras de hacer dinero que no son obvias. Por ejemplo, la Estrategia 1 es algo que he estado estudiando durante años, y funciona cada vez y no puede dejar de funcionar. Estrategia Explosiva 1: Debido a reglas cambiantes y algo confusas y el escrutinio por los reguladores federales de las reclamaciones de ingresos en línea, he decidido no decirle en esta página cuánto dinero he hecho con este método. Sólo diría que su una estrategia muy expositiva, diseñado para maximizar los beneficios y minimizar el riesgo. Increíble potencial de pérdidas / ganancias. Y no importa si la acción sube o baja, pero requiere un período de tiempo más largo-6 a 8 meses. No es raro que estos oficios para crear las ganancias que puede presumir. ¿Quieres hacer una matanza en el mercado? No hay nada mejor que esto. Explosivo Estrategia 2: Otro método que llamo Flipping Stocks me permite comprar acciones más barato que nadie y si el mercado no coopera con mi plan - Me pagan un montón de dinero para esperar hasta que lo hace Esto es para jugadores más grandes con más capital. Pero cuando tienes 15k o más para poner a trabajar, estas operaciones a largo plazo generan beneficios explosivos. Te lo enseño en un bonito video de 52 minutos. Estrategia Explosiva 3: Esta nueva estrategia que tiene posibilidades ilimitadas de subir o bajar y sólo 50 o más de riesgo Esta estrategia es extremadamente poderosa y uno de los mayores secretos reales que nadie ha discutido nunca que conozco. Espere hasta que vea el poder de esta estrategia. (Otra vez, he omitido intencionalmente mis números de ingresos de esta página.) Piense que no hay almuerzo gratis en Wall Street Este tampoco es uno, pero su tan cerca como se llega a una Esta es la estrategia perfecta para jugar informes de ganancias, Cualquier acción que piensas moverá grande en cualquier dirección con poco riesgo. Estrategia Explosiva 4: Si quieres ser más activo en acciones pero odias el riesgo, te encantará esto. Día de comercio sin el riesgo normalmente asociado con el día de comercio. Se puede configurar para ser un sistema de comercio semi-automatizado. Muy potente y de nuevo otra estrategia de bajo riesgo y alta ganancia para los participantes más activos. Esta estrategia incluye 9 videos, y te llevo a través de algunos oficios de la vida real en el transcurso de 7 días y te mostrará exactamente cómo hago miles de dólares con estos oficios. Ive también incluyó 3 hojas de trabajo (hojas de cálculo de Excel) para su conveniencia Estrategia explosiva 5: Si te gustó la idea de los oficios de ingresos mensuales, pero se preguntaba cómo turbo cobrarles para hacer una fortuna, entonces te encantará esto. Cuando empecé a usar esta estrategia vi una gran diferencia. Comencé a generar un ingreso mucho más, y lo estaba haciendo con mucho menos estrés Esta última estrategia es la guinda del pastel. El momento máximo en todo su duro estudio y podría valer 100 veces lo que pagó por este curso - tal vez incluso más. ¿Por qué no revelar esto hasta el final del curso Simple: Usted no sería capaz de utilizar esta estrategia sin una buena base que se estableció en los módulos anteriores.

Some 16,000 people lost their lives as a result of this law, either executed for violating the law or killed in riots driven by opposition to the law. It is difficult now to imagine the intensity of feelings generated by trade disputes in the past: it is unlikely that the U. S. Congress will mandate the death penalty for driving a Toyota. Nonetheless, trade disputes continue to raise high emotions. As the Cold War recedes as the principle focus of international relations, trade conflicts will become more frequent and more intense. From a theoretical perspective, trade disputes should not exist. After all, economic doctrine assumes that nations freely exchange goods and services, and that the impersonal forces of supply and demand presumably determine the allocation of these resources. The pursuit of a more efficient allocation of resources, guided by the doctrine of comparative advantage, is held by many to be a genuinely universal objective, shared by all nations regardless of culture or history, time or space. Nations, however, like individuals, are motivated by values sometimes quite different and even inconsistent with economic efficiency. If nations did not trade with each other, each nation would be able to pursue its different objectives in a manner consistent with the relative importance of each. Trade complicates this ranking process: it forces nations to make tradeoffs between efficiency and other possible values such as economic equity, social stability, environmental protection, or political representation. The intrusiveness of trade accounts for its political significance. In the early modern period, most nations in Europe simply controlled trade so that its intrusiveness could be rigidly managed. The term mercantilism is generally used to describe this system of control. Generally speaking, mercantilist policies were designed to stimulate exports and depress imports so that the country would always have a favorable balance of trade, policies that were possible largely because of the heavy state involvement in economic activity through trading companies and the like. The favorable balance of trade represented an accumulation of wealth, which could then serve as a resource for the political and military aspirations of the state. At this time, there was no meaningful distinction between political and economic objectives, or, as Jacob Viner described it, between power and plenty. The policies used to support mercantilist objectives were quite straightforward: the importation of certain products would be forbidden by law the production of certain products in colonies governed by mercantilist states would be banned subsidies would be granted to the producers of favored exports and the state would take the necessary steps to assure a viable navy for the transportation of exports. Beyond these general policies, every state had specific measures reflecting its unique circumstances, but all mercantilist policies from this period reflect the strong political and economic interests of the state. As argued by Edward Meade Earle in 1943: In short, the ends of mercantilism were unification of the national state and development of its industrial, commercial, financial, military, and naval resources. To achieve these ends the state intervened in economic affairs, so that the activities of its citizens or subjects might be effectively diverted into channels as would enhance political and military power. As capitalism matured and economic and political rights began to adhere to individuals, the direct intervention of the state in administering economic activity became both less necessary and less desirable. In The Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith articulated an economic system driven by the private interests of individuals, not the public ones of the state. More importantly, however, Smith argued that a quothidden handquot would actually transform these private and selfish interests into public benefit-greater economic activity and an economic surplus into which the state could tap, through taxation, for its security requirements. In other words, the free market could more efficiently channel economic activity than the state in ways that actually enhanced the power of the state: the private pursuit of plenty could also result in the public acquisition of power. The struggle to realize this framework domestically was difficult and has yet to be fully resolved except in some of the advanced industrialized countries. Internationally, the struggle to create a free market has been significantly more difficult. In 1817, British economist David Ricardo wrote The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, which extended Smiths argument to foreign trade and advocated free trade on the basis of comparative advantage. Ricardo tried to prove that if two countries engage in trade, each should specialize in whichever goods it produces relatively well: even if one of the countries is better at producing every product, it can still benefit from trade by emphasizing the products it produces best and importing those products it which it is only relatively inefficient at producing. Since Ricardos time, mainstream economic doctrine has accepted this proposition and has argued that unrestricted trade results in vastly expanded production and, hence, greater wealth. The fight to implement and impose free trade practices globally was led first by Great Britain and subsequently by the United States. In truth, neither state fully subscribed to the principles of free trade, but the rhetorical support provided by each to the principles was almost religious, as well-described by Lord Maynard Keynes: I was brought, like most Englishmen, to respect free trade not only as an economic doctrine, which a rational and instructed person could not doubt, but also almost as a part of the moral law. I regarded ordinary departures from it as being at the same time an imbecility and an outrage. I thought Englands unshakable free trade convictions, maintained for nearly a hundred years, to be both the explanation before man and the justification before Heaven of her economic supremacy. The British maintained a very elaborate and sophisticated set of trade preferences within the Empire but often abandoned its free trade practices outside the Empire whenever such exceptions seemed appropriate. The Post World War II Trade Regime Nonetheless, the doctrine of free trade is an unquestionably powerful idea and since the end of World War II it has been championed by the United States and has served as the measure of determining governmental policy for many states in the international system. In the late 20th century, a very strong movement toward freeing trade further has occurred: the policies of some of the more protectionist states in the system-Brazil, China, India, Russia, and France-have moved toward strong liberalization. One should not interpret this movement as irreversible since attitudes toward trade historically can change very rapidly. But at this particular point in time, there is little question that free trade is being aggressively pursued by most of the major economic powers. The idea of free trade is seductively simple: barriers to the free flow of goods and services, such as tariffs and quotas, should be reduced to zero. Individual entrepreneurs would invest their capital in those areas in which they would make the most profit. Global production would then increase dramatically as greater efficiencies of production are realized, and, as a result, the wealth of the world would increase. There is no question that increased trade among nations shows a clear correlation with increased wealth on a global scale. In 1820 world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was estimated to be around 695 billion (US 1990) by 1992 world GDP had increased to 27,995 billion (US 1990). World exports were about 7 billion (US 1990) in 1820 and by 1992 they had increased to about 3,786 billion (US 1990). Stated another way, exports accounted for only about 1 percent of world product in 1820. By 1913 exports accounted for about 8.7 percent, and by 1992 the figure was about 13.5 percent. Increased trade is certainly partially responsible for the dramatic increase in wealth in the last two centuries. Trade is also heavily concentrated. The top ten exporters accounted for over sixty percent of global exports the top ten importers accounted for almost 58 percent of world imports (See Table 1). Indeed, the top fifty exporters accounted for 96.1 percent of all world exports, which means that around 135 countries only account for 3.9 percent of world exports. This concentration of trade reflects the concentration of global economic activity and does not suggest that trade cannot be of crucial importance to small countries. One can also support free trade because its alternative, protectionism, is viewed as a dangerous policy. The commitment of the United States to free trade can be partially explained by the disastrous experience of the United States during the Great Depression. The decision of the United States to erect significant tariff barriers against foreign products as a way of stimulating internal demand was entirely counterproductive and led instead to a deepening of the Depression. While the decision to raise tariffs, most dramatically in the case of the Smoot-Hawley tariff, was consistent with most of American economic history, the leaders of the United States decided that its post-World War II economic policies would be quite different, and they adopted a strong free trade position as the hallmark of American power. Thus, the United States helped create and maintain the Bretton Woods System whose institutions-the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)-were committed to free trade.

Hong Kong had domestic exports of 29.9 billion and re-exported 143.9 billion. Its retained imports in 1995 totaled 52.1 billion. Although not the most powerful of these institutions, the GATT is the organization most centrally concerned with establishing the global free trade regime. In 1945 the United States invited twenty-two other nations to join it in drafting an agreement that would multilaterally reduce tariffs and other barriers to trade. The negotiations held in Geneva in 1947 resulted in the GATT, which at that time was only provisional. The plan was to incorporate eventually the GATT into the proposed International Trade Organization (ITO). The ITO never came into being because of opposition, primarily from the United States, to its powers of regulating trade. The GATT took over some of the duties of the stillborn ITO, such as settling disputes and providing information about tariffs and quotas. Over the years more countries joined the GATT, and the Contracting Parties felt the need to meet in what came to be known as trade negotiating rounds. Eight such rounds have taken place, the last three being the longest and most important: the Kennedy, Tokyo, and Uruguay Rounds. The Kennedy Round was initiated in 1962 and concluded in 1967. Its major contribution was the introduction of multilateral trade negotiations. Previously the common practice had been to settle tariffs item by item. The new procedure introduced by the Kennedy Round treated every tariff as roughly comparable: if an item was not listed as an exception by a country, its tariff would be set at the general rate agreed upon by the country. Additionally, four main issues were discussed at the Kennedy Round: industrial tariffs, agriculture, non-tariff barriers, and the integration of developing countries into the global economy through trade. Progress on reducing industrial tariffs was quite successful: the value of trade covered was about 40 billion and the talks affected about 40 percent of the goods imported by industrialized countries. Progress was more limited in the remaining three issue areas: agricultural restrictions proved intractable due to the political significance of farming in many countries non-tariff barriers, such as quality standards and labeling regulations, were difficult to identify and assess and the problems of overcoming poverty in developing countries by facilitating their trade through preferences involved concessions the industrialized countries were unwilling to make. Despite the successes in reducing industrial tariffs, the Kennedy Round failed to meet the expectations of many of the participants. One of its biggest drawbacks was that the negotiators continued to rely upon the reciprocity clause: a country would reduce its tariffs only if its trading partners did likewise. Countries were unwilling to import more unless its exports increased by a similar amount. Developing countries were also not treated as full participants in the negotiations: the United States, the European Economic Community, and Japan dominated the discussions. The Tokyo Round opened in 1972, triggered by the withdrawal of the United States from the gold standard in 1971. Ninety-nine countries, members and non-members of GATT, participated in the extensive negotiations that would only be concluded seven years later. The Round resulted in the reduction of hundreds of tariffs and steps toward the quantification and elimination of non-tariff barriers to trade. Six major Codes of Conduct were articulated, including the Standards Code, which attempted to regulate non-tariff barriers. As was the case with the Kennedy Round, actual adherence to these new standards has been quite spotty, and, again, developing countries were not offered structural concessions. The world had recognized that poorer countries need different treatment in the area of trade. There are two major trading institutions which try to compensate for the difficulties faced by poorer countries: the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and the tariff preferences extended to 70 African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries through the European Unions Lome IV Convention. These two systems grant lower tariffs, and, in some cases, duty free status to developing countries. The system of preferences certainly made it easier for poor countries to export their traditional products, but it also made it difficult for them to diversify their exports, particularly toward manufactured and semi-manufactured products. As the world moves closer toward a lowering of all MFN tariffs, however, the advantages offered by these two systems will inherently decline. The Uruguay Round was the most important and most comprehensive of all rounds. Initiated on September 20, 1986 in Punta del Este, it was stalled for three years due to conflicts between the United States and the European Union over agricultural trade. The credibility of multilateral negotiations was at stake during those years if the disputes had not been settled, the global framework of international trade might have succumbed to protectionism and bilateral agreements. A compromise was reached in December 1993 in Geneva, and the final text was signed the following March in Marrakech. The Uruguay Round was a watershed in the history of the GATT. The jurisdiction of the agreement was extended to issues which many countries had reserved to their national sovereignty: services, textiles, and agriculture. The establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) was its greatest accomplishment. The WTO has the power to actually resolve disputes, putting an end to further multilateral rounds of negotiations. Unlike GATT decisions, those made by the WTO are binding. More complex and far-reaching then the GATT, the WTO is the successor to GATT (and the reincarnation of the ITO). Established in Geneva on January 1, 1995, the WTO already has over 120 members. Its additional functions include implementing all multilateral trade agreements and overseeing national trade policies. In December 1996, the WTO held its first biennial Ministerial Conference in Singapore, and concluded the Information Technology Act which dealt with matters concerning protection of intellectual property rights associated with new electronic technologies. The Ministerial Conference is the WTOs highest authority, and is composed of the trade ministers from every single member. Several bodies and committees work around a General Council in the Geneva headquarters of the WTO. So far, only minor issues have been turned over to the WTO for resolution (such as bananas and Costa Rican underwear). At this stage it is impossible to assess the effectiveness of the WTO: the question of whether it will be able to enforce its decisions in those cases remains an open question. Exceptions to a Global Free Trade Regime: Regional Trading Blocs The WTO will be operating in a global environment, which is, in some respects, more favorable to the idea of freer trade, but organized along regional lines. Article XXIV of the GATT allows for regional institutions to establish their own free trade areas as potential way stations to a global regime: The contracting parties recognize the desirability of increasing freedom of trade by the development, through voluntary agreements, of closer integration between the economies of the countries parties to such agreements. There are many such agreements in the world, but these agreements are far from uniform in scope. There are different levels of integration in the world, and each regional organization deals with the issue of national sovereignty differently. A free trade area (FTA) is the simplest form of trade alliance: barriers to trade only among member states are lowered, and each country remains independent with respect to non-members of the FTA. Custom Unions go one step further: they establish a common external tariff (CET) which applied uniformly to non-members. At the most sophisticated level of regional integration, nations form a common market in which there is, in addition to free mobility of the factors of production (capital and labor), a common trade policy and the harmonizing of national economic legislation. The process of regional integration has grown steadily since the end of World War II. In the early 1950s many believed that the tensions between France and Germany could only be reduced if the two were tied together economically. The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was created, and it served as a stepping-stone to the Treaty of Rome (1957) which gave birth to the European Economic Community (EEC). The EEC has evolved over the years and is still involved in arduous negotiations to achieve a higher level of political and economic integration, including the creation of a common currency. From an initial group of six, it now consists of fifteen countries, and other nations have applied for membership. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Mercosur are more recent regional trade alliances. NAFTA was signed by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 1992, and entered into force on January 1, 1994. The Treaty of Asuncioacuten, which created Mercosur, was signed by Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay in March 1991, and was implemented on January 1, 1995. As of now, both agreements are free trade areas, which aim to withdraw all barriers to the exchange of goods, services, and capital only among the member nations. Mercosur, however, plans to eventually become a common market and follow the European example it is now, however, only a semi-functioning customs union. Both NAFTA and Mercosur are currently reviewing membership applications from other Latin American nations, and, at the Summit of the Americas in 1994, thirty-four countries supported the creation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The path toward such integration will not be an easy one, especially because the area involved is much more heterogeneous than Europe. Some initial efforts have been made, but it remains to be seen if the United States in particular is willing to pursue and support some form of hemispheric integration. Overall, regional trading blocs account for about 61 percent of all trade, a very high percentage. C. Fred Bergsten estimates the different shares for the main blocs in the world today: Regional Free Trade Arrangements (share of world trade, 1994) European Union 22.8 EUROMED 2.3 NAFTA 7.9 Mercosur 0.3 Free Trade Area of the Americas 2.6 AFTA 1.3 Australia-New Zealand 0.1 APEC 23.7 Source: C. Fred Bergsten, quotCompetitive Liberalization and Global Free Trade: A Vision for the Early 21st Century, Institute for International Economics, APEC Working Paper 96-15, 1996, iie:80/9615.htm. Quite clearly, the regional trading blocs are highly significant actors in world trade. Their danger is that, although they are expected to be mere way stations to a global free trade regime, they also represent institutional interests that may actually restrict trade. Exceptions to a Global Free Trade Regime: Economic Protection By far the most important exceptions to free trade come from pressures to protect a domestic economy from international competition. The techniques for such protection include tariffs, quotas, export subsidies, government procurement policies, quality, safety, and health regulations, and a whole host of other pricing mechanisms. In 1993, the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimated that protectionist measures cost the global economy about 450 billion a year. At the global level, the arguments supporting free trade are probably unassailable: free trade unquestionably stimulates more efficient production and, as we have seen, greater wealth. Nations, however, are not asked to defend a global perspective they are expected to defend national interests. While free trade may actually create jobs by stimulating demand and lowering prices, free trade cannot guarantee that those who lose their jobs because of their higher wages will be hired to fill the new jobs created by the economic stimulus. It is this asymmetry of benefits, distributed unequally among different countries, and among different products and different workers, which creates powerful opposition to free trade. Quantifying the effects of freer trade is extraordinarily difficult, as demonstrated by the problems in determining the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on the U. S. and Mexican economies. A recent study conducted by the University of California at Los Angeles suggests that the overall effects of NAFTA since it was signed in 1994 have been quite modest: Using a new model of how exports and imports influence jobs in various product categories and regions, the study estimated that the net job gain to the United States since the agreement took effect at the beginning of 1994 has been just 2,990 jobs. The net figure, however, masked a much greater level of both job losses and gains among different companies. Increased imports to the United States killed an estimated 28,168 jobs the last three years, the study said, while increased exports supported creation of 31,158 jobs. Obviously the people who lost their jobs or their businesses feel that NAFTA was a bad decision. The people who gained jobs or who benefited from lower prices for the products they purchased feel that NAFTA was a good decision. The difficulty for a policy maker is determining what the overall effect on the national economy is by freer trade, including the costs of addressing the needs of those who lose their jobs or businesses. Those who support greater protection against economic competition from abroad argue that domestic producers will move to countries where cheaper labor is available, or where regulations, such as environmental or safety controls, are minimal. Indeed, the logic of free trade is that producers ought to move to places in which higher profits can be made so, to the extent that such considerations are important, one would expect changes of this nature. It is difficult to determine, however, the extent to which such considerations are decisive. For example, there has not been a documented massive shift of manufacturing from the United States to Mexico or to any other country in which labor costs are substantially lower than in the United States. The manufacturing share of the U. S. economy has not drastically changed in the past thirty years (21 of the U. S. economy). It is clear that lower labor costs or reduced regulations are not the sole determinants of business decisions to relocate: in some cases they may be, but it other cases, access to skilled labor or the presence of a sophisticated infrastructure may be more important. What is clear is that appeals to protection from free trade constitute a powerful political issue. There is no question that some jobs have been lost because of NAFTA and many believe that the U. S. Government has a responsibility to protect Americans from job erosion. Presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan made this issue a central part of his campaign in 1996: To quotconservatives of the heart, quot even if NAFTA brings an uptick in GNP it is no good for America. No matter the cash benefits, we dont want to merge our economy with Mexico. We dont want to force American workers to compete with dollar-an-hour Mexican labor. Thats not what America is all about. In many countries there are provisions for helping workers whose jobs are lost due to trade, but it is hard to assert that those programs are especially successful. By and large, trade-displaced workers are older, less educated, and less mobile than workers who are attractive to the more dynamic sectors of an economy. Additionally, one should always be aware that justifications for trade protection are also defenses of relative inefficiency. Tariffs and quotas are costs to an economy, ones usually borne by the consumer. They can protect workers, but, in the process, they can also protect the private corporate interests of those who hire the workers. In the early 1980s the automobile industry in the United States was at a competitive disadvantage to Japanese producers and lobbied for protection against imported automobiles. After a quota was implemented, the prices of automobiles when up rather dramatically. The American industry announced that the quota saved about 22,000 jobs. The quota also increased the profits of the industry. However, the price increase led to a sales drop of about one million cars which in turn led to a loss of about 50,000 jobs in the industry. Exceptions to a Global Free Trade Regime: National Security Concerns The ideal of global free trade faces a challenge when viewed in light of national security concerns. Nations do not wish to export products to their adversaries which might have the effect of enhancing their relative power, even if the private interests producing those products have an interest in increasing their sales. During the Cold War, the economic benefits of free trade were overridden in many cases by national and multilateral export controls on strategically sensitive products. The formal agency responsible for maintaining these controls was the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) aimed to protect the Wests security interests by placing restrictions on nuclear, conventional, and dual-use technologies that might have strengthened the Soviets military position in the Cold War. COCOM, established in 1949, included Japan and all of the NATO countries except Iceland. COCOM restrictions on strategic trade were partially effective in limiting the transfer of strategic materials to the Soviet bloc, but were never wholly successful. It proved to be extremely difficult to identify which products were of strategic value. For example, in 1972 the United States gave the Bryant Grinder Corporation authorization for a shipment of precision miniature ball-bearing grinders to the Soviet Union, which later proved to be used in Soviet guided ballistic missiles. Other COCOM states had also shipped similar types of equipment to the Soviet Union. Similarly, computer technology proved to be extraordinarily difficult to define in strategic terms: many items could be used for military purposes, and it was impossible to define those items, which could not somehow be adapted for strategic purposes. The end of the Cold War has lessened the possibilities for effective controls over strategic exports, and COCOM was dissolved on March 31, 1994. The need to control such material however, still persists, particularly over those materials and technologies used in nuclear weapons production and delivery. Currently, the effort to restrict such exports is guided by the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) which was formed in 1987. There are about 25 nations which have announced adherence to these controls which are described by the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in these terms: The MTCR is neither a treaty nor an international agreement but is a voluntary arrangement among countries which share a common interest in arresting missile proliferation. The Regime consists of common export guidelines applied to a common list of controlled items. Each member implements its commitments in the context of its own national export laws. Such controls have never been regarded as inconsistent with a free trade regime, but if the definition of strategic were to expand significantly to include many computer and information technologies, the effects on international trade may be considerable. Exceptions to a Global Free Trade Regime: Human Rights Trade is often used as a mechanism for influencing the policies of states. The United States signaled its displeasure at the Japanese invasion of Manchuria by cutting off certain vital exports to Japan. The loss of its supplies of oil and iron ore simply reinforced the position of those in Japan who argued that further armed expansion was the only solution to the vulnerability of a relatively resource-less island. On the other hand, the trade embargo against South Africa, while far from complete, ultimately succeeded in persuading the Nationalist Government that continued isolation from the rest of the world was more costly to South Africa than the establishment of majority rule. In both cases, trade was manipulated as a diplomatic instrument to achieve a certain objective. Many simply disagree with the use of trade as a policy tool. For them, economics should follow its own logic and its purposes should not be subordinated to the political interests of the state. This position suggests that, over time, the forces of economics will slowly persuade states to cooperate more effectively, no matter what the ideological or political differences among them. Moreover, many argue that using trade as a lever for inducing change is simply ineffective. The failure of the United States embargo against Cuba to force a change in the Cuban government is a case in point. There is probably no way to separate trade from politics, and it would be naiumlve to suggest otherwise. Trade restrictions are often reflections of domestic politics within states much more than they are actually well considered mechanisms of change. Perhaps the most visible case of trade politics in recent years has been the dispute between the United States and the Peoples Republic of China over a U. S. extension of Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) status to the Chinese. Most-Favored-Nation status simply means that the restrictions on trade between two nations will be no more onerous than the least restrictions offered to any other single state with whom trade occurs. The status does not confer any special advantage: it merely prohibits a specific disadvantage which could possibly be directed against a single state. MFN is a crucially important status because it allows states to compete more or less equally within the global trading network. As China has become one of the most significant factors in United States trade, importing in 1995 about 12 billion from the United States and exporting about 45 billion to the united States, the question of whether China should be granted MFN status has become critically important. There are some who oppose MFN status to China simply because they believe that the United States cannot compete with Chinese products, and an influx of Chinese goods would cost Americans jobs, arguments similar to those developed earlier in the section on protectionism. There are others, however, who argue that the absence of political freedoms in China renders China an unfit trading partner. They suggest that the United States should threaten to restrict Chinese exports to the United States unless China adopts a system of human rights more compatible with Western values. There is very little question that the Chinese have a profoundly different system of politics than does the United States. Moreover, there is very little question that many Americans find Chinese practices, particularly the treatment of political dissidents, to be abhorrent. It is difficult, however, to accept the proposition that American political practices should be the standard by which all nations should be judged. Indeed, the United States itself might be found lacking in adherence to its own principles in many respects. The Chinese argue that its internal political system accurately reflects the values of its society, and that its internal politics are not subject to evaluation or judgment by outsiders. In some respects, the world has already answered this objection. The precedents established by the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials after World War II effectively dismissed the possibility of politics ever being a purely quotdomesticquot matter-the position was only reinforced by subsequent actions against South Africa. Which side is right Initially, the United States took the position in 1993 that MFN status would not be conferred unless human rights practices in China changed dramatically. Subsequently, however, the United States changed its position, and, in 1996, granted China MFN status for a year. Presumably, that status will be renewed unless Chinese actions change dramatically for the worse. In some sense, the Chinese had clearly won a victory over United States policy-trade would flow freely between the two nations, and no conditions were imposed on Chinese behavior. Nonetheless, this interpretation of the outcome is overly simple. United States pressure certainly discomfited the Chinese, and the publicity surrounding certain dissidents in China and the possibilities of prison labor for profit damaged Chinas reputation globally. The more important point, however, was much simpler: the United States decided that its ability to influence Chinese domestic political practice through trade was minimal. This pragmatic observation led to the decision that opening trade further might lead to political changes within China more rapidly than a coercive approach, which tried to punish China for its human rights practices. As is the case with most pragmatic decisions, time will tell. Exceptions to a Global Free Trade Regime: Environmental Protection The most recent exceptions to the free trade system revolve around the growing concern over how environmental regulations may be subverted by corporations moving their operations to states with lax environmental controls. There is scant systematic evidence to document how extensive this problem may be, but there are a number of examples which suggest that the problem may be widespread. Arlene Wilson of the Congressional Research Service observed that quota number of studies have shown that trade liberalization may reduce a countrys overall welfare if environmental resources are incorrectly priced. quot It is difficult, however, to know how to price correctly environmental protection, particularly since, in the international arena, attitudes toward balancing the values of economic development and environmental protection may differ profoundly. In making environmental standards a part of NAFTA, the United States, Canada, and Mexico have set the stage for increased debate between environmental activist organizations and advocates for freer trade. The NAFTA set up a side agreement known as the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). This agreement provides a mechanism in which disputes over environmental regulations may be settled outside of the NAFTA framework. Environmentalists feared that American businesses would flock to Mexico to produce more cheaply by avoiding costly U. S. environmental regulations. There is not yet sufficient information to assess whether this fear was or is justified. There seems to be wide consensus that quotdirtyquot industries quothave expanded faster in developing countries than the average rate for all industries over the last two decades - and faster than in industrial countries. It is uncertain, however, whether this international pattern merely reflects growth - or industrial migration as well. quot The creation of the side agreement was clearly an initiative sparked by domestic concerns within the United States, and the rhetorical level of support for environmental protection was quite high. Former Secretary of State Warren Christopher affirmed that the United States is quotstriving through the new World Trade Organization to reconcile the complex tensions between promoting trade and protecting the environment-and to ensure that neither comes at the expense of the other. quot Whether this balance can be attained remains to be seen. It is unlikely that freer trade would substantially increase the opportunities for new environmental degradation it might, however, certainly intensify current problems. The Critique of the Free Trade Regime The exceptions to the practice of free trade listed above are generally regarded as practical concessions to the political realities of the international system they are, in some respects, modifications or reforms designed to accommodate interests which find the demands of the free market inconsistent with other values such as equality and justice. There are many, however, who believe that free trade cannot be reconciled with these other values. These critics argue that the free trade regime is in fact a political system-an imperialist system-engineered to maintain the power of the advanced industrialized countries at the expense of the poorer countries. There are a number of variations to this argument and it is simply impossible to develop them in any detail in this essay. Marxists, dependency theorist, and liberal reformers all share some basic elements of the critique. What separates their analyses is the extent to which the system can be changed, what the nature of those changes have to be, and whether the changes have to involve the fundamental premises of the capitalist system. The analysis of the problem is straightforward: free trade favors the more developed economies and this bias channels wealth from the poor to the rich. This process has been going on for centuries and the cumulative effect of the bias is the growing income gap between rich and poor. Powerful states, therefore, adopt free trade because it increases their power. Bismarck once noted that: England had the highest protective duties until she had been so strengthened under the protection that she came forward as a herculean fighter and challenged everybody with, Enter the lists with me. She is the strongest pugilist in the arena of competition, and is ever ready to assert the right of the strongest in trade. From this perspective, free trade is nothing more than a mercantilist policy designed to enhance the power of a state relative to others. The critics of free trade argue that the openness of the free trade regime exposes poorer countries to competition, which is patently unfair. Rich countries have access to capital, technology, transportation, and markets, which are generally unavailable to poorer countries. The poor countries can sell their labor and their land in the form of primary commodities. Both of these factors of production are in great supply and therefore the demand for them is low. Free trade, therefore, creates a context in which poor countries have few avenues of escape: their products are less valuable than the products of the rich countries and their relative poverty only increases the more they participate in the free trade regime. The critics of the free trade regime stand solidly on their description of the international distribution of wealth. Since the mid-1800s, wealth and income have become increasingly concentrated in the industrialized nations. There is little question that poor countries have had a more difficult time catching up to the rich countries as free trade practices have become more global. The liberalizing of trade after the Tokyo Round did not significantly improve the status of poorer countries: Since the end of the Tokyo Round in 1979, the average level of industrial tariffs in developed countries has fallen by nearly a half to 6.4 per cent and the value of total world merchandise trade has grown by a remarkable 4.8 per cent per year. This growth is mainly confined to the industrialized countries: in the 1980s, developing countries exports grew by only l.6 per cent, and their share of world trade fell from 28 to 21 per cent. There is no question that some developing countries have benefited from the expansion of trade opportunities in the post-World War H period. Many countries in East Asia -- Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and South Korea -- deliberately pursued an export-led strategy that resulted in impressive growth in their Gross Domestic Products. However, other countries have not been able to use trade as an quotengine of growth. quot These countries, many of them in Africa, export primary commodities for which demand has been declining over time. The expansion of free trade into the agricultural sectors of these economies poses serious threats to the fanning communities in many of these areas. While it is probably safe to say that free trade will always benefit the wealthy, one must be more cautious in implementing free trade commitments for the poor. For them, trade will never be enough. Challenges to the Future of the World Trading System There are three primary concerns that have emerged out of the recent expansion of the free trade regime. The first is over the ways by which the trade system is connected to the larger economic process of globalization. The World Trade Organization, in its Annual Report for 1995, notes the significance of the connection: In virtually every year of the postwar period, the growth of world merchandise trade has exceeded the growth of world merchandise output. Overall, the volume of world merchandise trade is estimated to have increased at an average annual rate of slightly more than 6 per cent during the period 1950-94, compared with close to 4 per cent for world output. This means each 10 per cent increase in world output has on average been associated with a 16 per cent increase in world trade. During those 45 years, world merchandise output has multiplied 5frac12 times and world trade has multiplied 14 times, both in real terms. Nations trade because there are differences in production possibilities and costs among nations. While some of these factors are fixed, others, like the cost of labor, are not. When production changes location because of these differences in costs, the demand for these factors of production changes as well. For example, the demand for high-wage labor may be reduced because of the availability of low-wage labor, which then leads to a reduction in the high wages. We know that this transformation has in fact occurred, since trade is increasing at a faster rate than production. The fear that freer trade will depress high wages and lead to a mass exodus of jobs from the industrialized countries to the lower wage poorer countries is genuine, and manifests itself in a vision of a global network of sweatshops. As suggested above, there is little systematic or global evidence to document the extent to which this fear is legitimate. But the most important issue facing the WTO is the internationalization of standards-labor and environmental-implicit in the process of opening trade even further. The issue is extremely complicated. Evening out the differences vitiates the efficiencies gained by comparative advantage ignoring the differences assures strong political opposition to opening up markets. Further, there is no way to measure accurately the quality of life standards raised by questions concerning wages and environmental protection-what is a decent, living wage What is a quotcleanquot environment How does one account for the cultural variations in the definitions of these criteria Finally, the internationalization of these standards poses a serious challenge to the idea of state sovereignty. When an international organization such as the WTO or the International Labour Organization (ILO) begins to dictate working conditions within a country, serious questions arise about the ability of states to manage their own domestic affairs. The second major challenge facing the world trading system concerns its ability to enforce its rules. The conclusion of the Uruguay Round and the creation of the WTO reflect the economic and political power of quotnewquot entrants to the global economy: most importantly China and the states of the former Soviet Union. Additional impetus for the new structures came from states that changed their trade policies toward more liberalized trade: India and Brazil. The more traditional supporters of free trade, the United States and several of the European states, actually saw domestic support for free trade decline. That free trade expanded under recent conditions is not especially surprising in light of historical experience: in good economic times, free trade typically expands. The real strength of the new trade regime will be tested when an economic downturn occurs. Under conditions of economic stress, domestic pressures for protectionist measures increase dramatically. The WTO has a Dispute Settlement Body and an Appellate Body to enforce the rulings of the WTO, but the general effect of these enforcement mechanisms thus far has been to persuade nations to resolve their disputes quotout of court. quot Such resolutions of trade disputes are important and should not be discounted nonetheless, it remains to be seen whether the WTO has the ability to enforce unpopular decisions on powerful states. The third and final challenge to the world trading system is the presence, persistence, and expansion of global poverty. It is a mistake to think that the WTO can address this problem on its own. It is also a mistake, however, to think that an uncritical pursuit of free trade will help all countries equally. One of the clear characteristics of trade is that it rather faithfully represents the distribution of economic power in the international system. That some poor countries have been able to use trade to stimulate their economies to grow at rather rapid rates is an important reason to support free trade in principle. But it cannot be used as a blanket justification for policies that expose very poor societies to economic competition that undermines their viability. The current distribution of wealth is not defensible, either in moral or in practical terms. There are far too many people on the planet who lead lives of total desperation: over a billion people are malnourished, ill housed, and cut off from adequate education, medical care, clean water, and a safe environment. Free trade will not, on its own, pull these people into prosperity. Moreover, in a free trade regime, the economic fortunes of the rich countries are inextricably linked to the fortunes of the poor. Free trade has a convergence effect, although the power of that effect is not clearly measurable. if industries do migrate to low wage areas, then the tendency will be for high wages to fall. At some point, the reduction in wages will have a depressing effect on demand for products and this reduction will unquestionably lead to lower rates of economic growth, perhaps even negative growth rates. This challenge to the free trade regime is not dramatic or immediate, but it is inexorable. Nor does it suggest that free trade itself should be abandoned as a general principle. But the challenge of global poverty demands that richer countries think about trade as a way of helping poor nations integrate more successfully into the global economy. Such integration will require concessions to protect the weak economic infrastructures of many countries from the rather unforgiving rigors of free trade.
