Research and Markets: International Trade: Free, Fair and Open? You Decide

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/47ac05/international_trad) has announced the addition of the "International Trade: Free, Fair and Open?" report to their offering.

“The OECD is a major source for insightful analyses of current trade issues. It also plays a role in disseminating skillfully the results of less accessible writings on trade. This short book is a valuable addition to the latter endeavour and should be on the shelf of policy makers.”

International trade affects the price and availability of practically everything we buy. It also plays a role in many other domains, including jobs, the environment and the fight against poverty. OECD Insights: International Trade argues that prosperity has rarely, if ever, been achieved or sustained without trade. Trade alone, however, is not enough. Policies targeting employment, education, health and other issues are also needed to promote well-being and tackle the challenges of a globalised economy.
