We go through some of the issues with free trade in general, some of the theoretical issues, and cite some of the literature, and then we look at some of the concerns around the global economy and whether it could be at this point in a sort of a downward nosedive. We really need to have some alternatives on the back burner.
Our brief really speaks to the recommendations as to how we could make free trade fairer, and it also hints at the fact that we would do that within the concept of a transformed economy, which will have to look at a number of different models, which might suggest such a thing as a think tank to make sure that we have some back-burner policies if the global economy gets worse than it is right now.
