What Everyone Needs to Know®
Anne O. Krueger
Reviews and Awards
"In International Trade: What Everyone Needs to Know, Anne Krueger of Stanford University, a distinguished international economist, explodes the myths of Mr. Trump's approach. No, one cannot reduce a country's overall trade deficit by attacking bilateral deficits. No, foreign exporters did not bear the cost of the tariffs Mr. Trump imposed. No, the US will not make the Chinese do what it wants by inflicting punishment unilaterally. No, liberal trade is not a plot against America. And no, protectionism was never going to bring back the vanished industrial jobs of the past." -- Financial Times
"It is hard to think of any significant aspect of trade policy that is not brilliantly covered in this eminently readable book. Professor Krueger here distills a lifetime of research and real-world experience into a fascinating guidebook covering what every concerned citizen should know about trade history and policy." -- Arnold C. Harberger, Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in Economics, University of Chicago
"International trade and trade policies affect all consumers, producers and workers and even the fate of nations. Anne Krueger has written that rare gem: a concise, readily accessible volume on a vital topic that needs to be read by newcomers to the field and those needing a refresher course alike." -- Michael J. Boskin, Professor of Economics and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow, Stanford University, and Former Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers
