William J. Bernstein

A Splendid Exchange (2008) takes a detailed look at the events and innovations that contributed to the globalization of free trade. It also demonstrates that the fight between isolationism, protectionism, and free trade has raged for a long time, even before the notion of globalization was conceived. Trade between nations is clear and helpful, but it also has numerous dark aspects and dangers, as history has demonstrated.
