Murray Rothard on free trade

The major point is that genuine free trade requires no negotiations, treaties, super-power creations, or presidential jetting abroad. All it requires is for the United States to cut tariffs and quotas, as well as taxes and regulations. Period. And yes, unilaterally. No other nations or governments need get into the act.

~ Murray Rothard, "'Free Trade' in Perspective"

(Article appears in Making Economic Sense on p. 304.)

1995
