Description: Despite the passage of NAFTA and other recent free trade victories in the United States, former U.S. trade official Alfred Eckes warns that these developments have a dark side. Opening America's Market offers a bold critique of U.S. trade policies, concentrating on the evolution of those policies over the last sixty years and placing them within a broad historical perspective.

While many believe the United States rose to world leadership on the strength of its commitment to free trade, Eckes shows the facts are quite different.
